    Ok I do have one, stuck it on the micrometer and it measures 4.25x10.07mm; if you still want it, PM me your address and I'll post it tomorrow.

    I may take the plunge and tune my springers at some point, but whenever I consider it I can’t bring myself to remove perfectly good steel internal parts and replace them with plastic!

    Agreed.

    I've never suffered from scope/mount creep. Most of my mounts are Sportsmatch one-piece, some two-piece and I've never used or felt the need to employ the arrestor pin.

    I have always used a low riser block clamped securely behind the mount, always worked for me.

    Thanks for the help, I used an m5 tap and m5 stainless grub Allen. That will stay put!

    The only advice I would give is don't use a grub screw that terminates at a point. I learnt the hard way that if pointed grub screws aren't wound down into the stop holes enough, recoil will drag the points across the face of your cylinder. Flatten the end of the grub screws off is the best solution.

    I used the Allen socket end at the bottom facing the cylinder and loctited it in the right position...

    Just remember, if your arrestor pin is doing it's job, your mount isn't. I use BKL 1-piece on my TX's and they never move. Some have been on FAC TX's for 50,000+ shots without moving. Take care that the pin doesn't wallow out the hole in the receiver. Ask me how I know about this.

    Thank you...I hope it's just insurance as its a decent mount in one piece and a smooth tuned gun. I had scope creep once and as the saying goes...once bitten
