When I got my AIAW & Hensoldt, the 0MOA Alphamount I had for my Premier wouldn't work. As most of you know, the AI pic rails are 0MOA, and extend out past the action a little. I'm guessing this is because they use the same rails for the standard AW's and AWSM's. Because the Hensoldt is shorter, the objective was hitting the pic rail, even with the mount and scope pushed all the way forward. Some Shout Box Gunsmiths suggestion cutting off the extra rail....
... and hacksaw seemed to be the method of consensus. Somehow, that just didn't sound right. So I contacted Richard, and told him my problem. He finished my sentences, knowing exactly what I need. 35MOA, and an increased saddle height. He said he was gearing up to make some Alphamounts so he put me in the mix. He emailed me when he shipped it and said he included a " small gift " that he hoped I would like. Today, there was a gorgeous box from Canada sitting in my mailbox, and I just finished mounting everything up. The " small gift " looks totally bad ass up front.
Check it out... I can't, no matter how hard I try, convey the quality of Richard's machining. Near Alphamounts and Hensoldt scopes should be mandatory pairing. They just look like they were made for each other.
Look at this pic below. He chamfers the front of the rings here, allowing the objective bell to come back if need be. The detail in his work is unbelievable.

Wide angle shot for reference....the scope/mount look to be born of the same womb.
