    An interesting old set of mounts

    Just picked up an interesting old set of scope mounts. All steel and when I received them, they are 13mm dovetails, so handy for a BSA / early Weihrauch

    Thoughts anyone?

    When you said steel, I thought maybe Hilver (from Australia, although I've had some stamped HILVER and boxed by Tasco)... but yours don't look much like them.

    "Under seeable"?? Is that even a proper thing?

    Poo, I've got to eat my words, they're not steel, standard ali'. However, I've got them lined up for either an old BSA Airsporter or an HW35.

    Yeh, the description left it a bit of a gamble. I was just hoping they were 13mm, which they were.

    They are not all that unusual, similar to see-through mounts we used on hunting rifles overseas so that you can use open sights as an option to the scope that is fitted. Very handy when pig hunting and you get a sudden close range encounter.

    Hi

    I found these mounts on fleabay that solved the rubbish 14mm maxigrip rail problem, They were made in the land down under, I then was offered a set in black on here so I snatched them up as they will most likely fit many odd sizes and can be centralised for the offset..





    It's a shame that they're single screw mounts but they seemed to have stayed in place well with no creep

    Interesting mount solution from 'stralia. I got some BKLs which fit the 14mm, they were pretty pricey (£46?) although these American mounts are superbly made, like perfect.
