XS B28 scope rail and T05 mods?

While going through my shed I found another Xisco XS-B28 .22cal. I noticed the trigger has 2 screws one with a lock nut. Is there a t05 mod that does this? I contacted Mike Melick he didn't remember selling me a modded AR. I am tempted to take this gun down and see if I put in a PG2 or PG3 or just shoot and chrony and see what it's doing. Then use the trigger to fix the other gun while I wait for the new safety.
On my Ruger Air Mag .177 is a weaver/picatinny rail which I prefer over the dovetail. Does anyone know if there are after market rails to replace, (not adapt) the existing dovetail scope mount? Maybe just go to Ruger and order a replacement part? Has to be the same fit right?
What other mods have any of you applied to this model or should I check the D34/XS25 mods?
Pic of the trigger included, yes it's dusty it's been in the shed for 5 or 6 years.

wow well I shot this through the chrony and I am getting 20 fpe with RWS Superdome .22cal pellets. It's real hard to cock so I don't think I put a kit in it. It is accurate. But the scope started sliding down the rail mount in just 15 shots. Something to work on I guess.

There is a second screw mod for the T05 trigger. If you look at a stock blade there is a cross pin which gives you a fixed first stage. If the pin is removed and a hole drilled and tapped through this point parallel with the second stage screw you can replace the pin with a first stage screw. Mike Melick has done several though I don't know if he invented the mod itself. As far as replacing the dovetail scope mount with a Weaver rail, I don't know how the scope rail is attached to an XS-28. An actual Diana dovetail rail is held on by rivets and it's not recommended to remove it. If your scope mount is slipping try cleaning the grooves with brake cleaner or acetone. Be sure you're using the correct side of the removable mounting plate on the scope. Tighten to the specified torque. I went so far as to put Loctite into the dovetails on one of my guns. A Diana ZR (zero recoil) mount it unlikely to slip but the scope will sit up kind of high.

Pretty sure the trigger was modded by Mike Melick. Found my notes on the gun and it says tuned by MM. I am also MM but I would write down Me or DMM, like the other guns. The trigger is smooth and shot is smooth but powerful. I didn't adjust the scope , just noted the POI and adjusted my aim to correct. got a 1/2 inch 5 shot group before I noticed the scope had started to move.
The dovetail is attached by 3 screws. The mount I used was the droop compensating Diana mount that i took of the other B28 that I am repairing. I am tempted to pull the Swat 3 4x12 from my Blackhawk and put it ton this one. It has a weaver to dovetail adapter with a 6 screw clamp. and it's not near as big as the leapers scope.
