Got it, i looked back at the email. , you are correct. Looks like you posted a comment that a mod interpreted as a wtb ad (you need a paid membership for px exchange) And the mod changed your post as a warning.
I apologize for the miscommunication and misunderstanding.
You know what they say about assuming. “You make an ass of you and me”
Where did you hear this? This is the first I've heard of it.
Dang...that's disappointing. Hopefully LRI will post an update at some point.

Interesting. I talked to them on Friday and no one mentioned anything. We discussed some other parts, but no updates on the A1 mounts. That sucks if it's going to take a year, but LRI has been ridiculously busy and they're training in some new guys right now.
I couldn't wait any longer so bought two repro mounts from ICE. It's a shame as I've been following this thread since the beginning and will likely still buy some when they emerge but my project rifles have already been waiting years and I'm not getting any younger 
Me too... I'd still probably buy one or two... but my rifle will be done early October... I found a Redfield SA mount and rings on Ebay last night for $15 so I snagged it for now so I can mount my Unertl when I get the rifle back.I couldn't wait any longer so bought two repro mounts from ICE.

Is it a rumor when you hear it directly from the company referenced?I couldn't wait any longer so bought two repro mounts from ICE.

I'd say if you heard it directly from the company then no, it's not a rumour but a statement of fact. That's why I went ahead and bought the M40A1 repro mounts from another source
What’s the scoop on the ICE mounts? They look solid on the surface? Why aren’t they more popular?
There's a thread about them from ICE on here somewhere that explains how they're made. They made a run of 10 and I got two of them. I spoke to them a week ago and they said they're open to making more if there's interest. Drop them an email, as they're geared up for it and I have to say I'm really impressed with them
Just get some Redfield 700SA bases to hold you guys over. They are correct for early and transitional m40a1's anyway and I have been using one with mine for years without issue. If you want the extra security throw on some dirty welds like the originals.

Yeah that's the ones. Took about 3 weeks from order to delivery as they need to get an Australian DoD export permit but it was painless. Prices are in Aussie Dollarydoos and shipping wasn't bad
M40 scope rings - reproduction
Just about to finish this. Going off for finishing next week. I got a hold of a set and fully digitized it and made some. As exacting and correct as I could do. They do not require small tac-welds to hold them together. They will also withstand unlimited amounts of shooting 308win / 7.62...

If you look for Ignition Custom Engineering on Google you'll find their site and can see them on there
I was all set to get one of those, but canceled my order so I could get one from LRI instead... I guess maybe I shouldn't have done that??

i am hoping these will come soon. I did break down and buy the arms mount for the m25 project i have going.
