M3 sniper scope questions
I recently acquired an M3 sniperscope set in great condition. Only things missing is the mounting bar and tool set my questions are:
1. mounting bar, how difficult is it to find one with the barrel clamp? price?
2. reading war baby 2, I do not find reference to who made them, who did? any info out there as to contract numbers, manufacturers or even a part number?
3. Tool Set: any chance finding one? and the info on manufacutrer or part numbers? value?
Were the tool sets and mounting bars produced "In House" by inland?
I would like to make my set complete, but there is little info that I could find on the web. can anyone help?
Here in seattle the mounting bars are quite a bit more
Seen a sniper scope bar (just the bar and nothing more) sell for $950 at a gun show... The seller said to me that they are hard to find but can more commonly be found "re-welded"... He went further to say that the Rarest part of the mounting bar is the "Barrel Clamp" and that they were often left on the carbine once the weapon was turned in when obsolete.
I guess I can see the reason behind finding incomplete mounting bars more often than not...
Any chance of just finding just the barrel clamp?

M3 Infrared Sniper Scope Tool Kit
Hi,
Just joined the forum and this is one of the first things I am researching. I Recently picked up one of these M3 Scopes in its box with most everything there, it had these tools inside the box as well. Are these the tools that are so hard to find? Please see attached pic.
Thanks for any info,
Rich
