As promised here is the info.

This mount uses tension on a steel band to hold the mounting block against the receiver. The mount is totally drill/tap free. The steel band passes between receiver and stock, and sits tight against the recoil lug to keep everything solid. Over 100 rounds and counting and the mount is solid as a rock. The close-ups make it look rusty and it is...homebrew rust bluing job. Please feel free to ask any questions, I will do my best to answer them all. Up front, no, these are not for sale. I have over a week invested getting everything just right. This is a custom fit mount and I could not duplicate it for a price that anyone would pay. Sorry about that. :b sad:

BTW, that flash really brings out the dust huh?! :big shock:

So, in other words you are asking $25 and can have them ready to ship in a week? :lol: Not a bad idea, there was something like this made for the No1 MKIII Enfield years ago, or at least I recall it using a band around the receiver to hold part of it in place. I took it off one of the rifles I got years ago, but have no idea what I did with it.

Thanks for the post websterz. I think I can come up with something like that. What did you use for the band?

I used a piece of steel banding material I salvaged from the lumber yard. It is as handy as duct tape for a machinist!! :biggrin: Lemme' know if I can be of further help.

Thats awesome! Your lucky you have the skills to make them yourself. I'll probably end up having to buy one of the jmeck mounts

That is kick butt!!

Looking at the price of the after market mount, a scope, a bent bolt, a spare stock and a decent rifle I would be well over half way to a R-guns sniper. I am, however, going to get one of the Darrells mounts for my M-38 when he gets them in again unless one of you talk me out of it.
