Scope Ring Question.

[YankeeZulu]

Hey all- Starting things off in here w/a question. Certainly won't be the last one, either.

I got these scope rings w/my SR-25 years ago along w/a couple other bits and pieces the seller included and they've been lying around the work bench all this time... like 10 years. The only thing I know about the rifle's previous and only owner was that he was a die-hard KAC guy... and going through a nasty divorce hence he was selling the rifle(I got a GREAT deal on it for cold cash... "ex-wife untraceable!"). I always assumed they were KAC rings but I can't find any other example of them online. They appear to be 18mm. For whatever it's worth, the rifle is a very early ser#, probably made in the early 90's... she's a beauty.

Any idea what these are from the resident experts? Hopefully it's hasn't been staring me in the face all this time but I'm not the most internet-savvy dude in the world, I can tell you that!

Thanks in advance! -YZ

Is 18mm an airsoft dimension?

 

[YankeeZulu]

No idea. Hopefully not.

The caps don’t go with the bottom half of the rings. They don’t line up where they meet.

That happens with most scope rings, they're designed to have a gap between the ring cap and ring body.

Measure across the lower half at screw bosses.
Could be early Smith Enterprises Rings...

You're reading the vernier wrong, it looks like about 23.9mm because the 0 mark is not quite aligned with the 24.

Those look like 1" rings and as said there will be some gap between the cap and base when installed.

I can't tell you who made them, I have no idea.

Pulled my head out of my ass and remeasured. Definitely 1".

I guess pinging Smith and seeing if he recognizes them couldn't hurt. Are they on this forum?

I dont think Smith Enterprises is. And all the smith rings I can find have grooves inside the ring body and no material relief/missing for weight like yours are. Some badgers have that relief but they have an angled cap, not smooth curves like yours. KAC have a circular material relief, not squared out like yours.
No clue whose they are.

I think as previously said those are 1" rings. The caps shouldn't be touching the bases when measuring. I'll bet a rimfire scope will fit in there perfectly.
