In the end I’m really thrilled with how this came out and the work that my gunsmith did! The Accumounts mounts are way easier to install since they just screw onto the side of receiver and don’t require the angled notch to “hang” the bases on. Lots of angles and variables on this one following the original design in order to get it perfect. It shows how talented those gunsmiths were in the day. I’m so appreciative that my gunsmith worked so hard to get this done. He had built a few with the Accumounts bases before but this was a totally new adventure.

Also a huge thanks to the die hard member that reproduced the bases from the original blueprint! The original scope and rings deserved the most authentic bases possible.
