No 4T Scope mount screws

[vintage hunter]

Thought about that but the threads have also been retapped to 8-40. Whoever did it must have used a hand drill, none of the holes in the caps are counter sunk to the same depth and on one the drill walked off center at such an angle till it's quite possible it went right through the scope tube. I wonder if Peter or Warren have ever had a 32 come in for repairs with a hole in the side of the tube where it fits in the front cradle? I agree with Brian, it's a damn shame. Especially since it's my bracket!

Is it matching to a rifle, or a random bracket? Still might be repairable. Being cast iron, it's not something on which I'd care to weld, but there's options. Would need taps as well, but I suspect Brian Dick might have a source. I think he supplied me with front pad screw taps some time back.
