Along with the mounts from ICE.....
Here is another option for everyone. The first batch will be ready in 2 weeks.
I showed the mount to Marty at Badger and to George at GA Precision as well. They both liked it and said it looked great. George put a order in for 25pcs direct to the maker this week.
From the two I looked at... I'll say ring gap is .015". I grabbed a older 1" scope I have laying around and thru it in the rings and tightened the rings down to measure the ring gap. When I took the scope out of the rings nothing got crushed and only faint ring marks but no gouges etc... The only other scope I have that's a 1" anymore for the tube diameter is my Unertl and for me shooting my M40A1 I need the eye relief that the Badger scope base gives me and I'm using the M40A3 rings on it.
I took one of the mounts and test fit it to two receivers. I needed to take about .003" off each side of the rear lug and .030" off the backside of the rear lug. After doing it that it dropped on to a factory clip slotted 40x receiver. I needed to take a file and bevel the back corners of the rear lug to get it to go onto my GAP built M40A1 rifle and it fit pretty snug. A little snugger than the 40x.
Price on these will be $540 plus $11 shipping to the lower 48 states.
After this initial offering I will turn it all over to the manufacturer. Retail right now it's at $600.
No drop in mounts are available on these ones. No left handed mounts are available either from this maker.
Here are some pic's.
