Please then let me know which threading the drawing of yours mentions and I'll check my rifle whether this threading would fit original drilled holes or not. Easy to verify.

I don't think original rails were soldered as well. They were not for the M1903 Springfield rifle, my drawings mention nothing of that and none of the pictures of original Ross Snipers I've seen seem to carry traces of solder anywhere.

The font on my receiver is identical to the font on the rifle of Doug. Rifle of Doug only has one very low number on it. Therefore the font of both scope numbers on my rifle is the same as the one used during WWI. If the second scope was fitted for WWII, then in WWII they used the same font stamps as for WWI.

My base came from Roger Payneicon. I don't know how he had it produced. Maybe he'll give us a clue on this.
