Machinist's Drawings for No4(T) "Pads"

[David K]

.. I'd like to build a No.4(T) "CLONE" . The "made in India Mounts" from Sarco are currently not available, (and won't be for a couple of months) and don't come with the necessary "pads" , so while I'm waiting, if I can get a set of drawings, I MIGHT be able, to persuade my father-in-law, a retired machinist , to make me a set. So does anyone have a set of drawings, or suggestions where I could get a set ? Help appreciated ! Thanks !! ..... David K. ....

.... Thanks "R.G>" .... I see they've also got the "screws" that would be needed as well. Guess, since funds are limited, I'll have to contact them and see if a trade of some sort is viable option ! If not, back to plan B, and a no drill and tap, after market mount ! (Cheaper, a lot cheaper !) .... Thanks again! ..... David K. .....

..... THANKS A LOT "MUDPUPPY" !!!!!! ........ Now to find out if my Father-in-law will attempt the task, and if it's within the capabilities of his home lathe etc. !!! ...... Again , thanks !! ...... David K. ....

More milling work than lathe work there.
It might be an idea to have the bracket on hand before the pads are mounted on the rifle. Could be fitting/spacing issues that would be easier to deal with before the pads are mounted.
Mudpuppy - Thanks for posting the prints.

.... You should check the "Technical Articles" section; pretty well all you'd need, apart from a magnifying glass to "read" the vintage print, is there. It really would be quite a challenge to produce a decent replica mount, complete with all the screws etc. ! When I contacted SARCO about the mounts they bring in, there were no screws included, no pads, and there's shipping etc.etc. on top of the probable, price of between $150 to $200 (US) .... The after market, no drilling and tapping mounts are looking better all the time, at least until I can afford the "proper" replica version ! .... David K. .......
