Was scanning ebay late yesterday when I came across a original mount, Put a bid in not thinking I would get it but did. Sent payment and waiting for it to come. Will post pics as soon as I have it in hand.
Now all I need is a scope and I am set to get my rifle back uo and running.
Good on ya!
Well done! Care to give us a ball park figure ? I saw an original at $800 recently.
Thanks Hal. You must work in the medical field with that screen name.
XA, Won it on EBAY For $291 US. It looks real, we shall see once it arrives.
You have done well if it is legit.
We shall soon see. Mailed out today.
Received today. It looks real to me. Will post photos later.
right time, right place ... my jealousy intensifies :)
Here are some pics I took. Sorry about the quality.
I'm no expert but it looks a little wrong to me, shouldnt the finish have less marks. Unless of course a serial number has been linished or scrubbed off.
It looks a trifle too rough to be a fake..................
Thought it odd, as well, until I realized that it DID have an old number roughly ground away. N92 brackets are pretty "flat" on the LH side.Quote:

The pic of the N92 is not the best. In looking at the mount, its a great deal clearer than in the photo. As for the rough marks, it looks like someone may have scrubbed what looks like the remnants of the suncorite off it as there are some minute patches of the paint that remain. I am no expert on the mounts by any token, or the rifles for that matter, but in the few that I have seen, it does appear to be be a real T mount.
I of course defer to the experts here on the site. I m sure they know significantly more about the matter than I do.

Than k you Brit. I was quite surprised my bid won it. Was expecting it to go for significantly more.Quote:

I meant to say "N92 brackets". The "N92" itself raised no concerns. Sorry for any confusion!Quote:

Thanks Surpmil. Now to find a scope.
