Now that would be magnificent!

Getting the rings to 27mm shouldnt be a big problem, just another hurdle.

I REALLY apreciate all the contact info im getting here.

Big Thanks!

You disassemble the scope, slide the rings on, solder them in place then re-assemble the scope.

Not exactly easy for the average individual...

the good news is that the rings can be opened up to 26mm by a decent gunsmith. The bad news is you have to disassemble the scope to get the rings on.

Try contacting gunco in Ottawa in 3 weeks time. They have the ability to do the work, but you'll have to confirm they are willing to take a non-local job.

Something a wee bit on the strange side, I have a Prototype Springfield model 1903, N.M Double circle P w/G&H lever mount and a Zeiss scope very similar to the one you've shown. When I took it to Griffin and Howe one of the old timers there remembered putting a couple of those together for the U.S.M.C.. The fellow we bought it from got it from the Unserviceable rack in Ft Benning. He was really ****ed off because he really wanted one of the new U.S.M.C rifles with the Lyman scopes! Being a Lt. Col, he figured he should have one. I'm glad he didn't get it, but, the terms of the sale are that we never separate the scope from the gun, hum, I can live with that and have for over 20 years-SDH

Bart, Turret mount rings are always soldered to the scope tube.

Do you have any progress pics now that you've probably done some parts swapping?

[Sigismund]

I can certainly post some pics of the byf44 now it has the proper parts on.

As far as the scope and rings are concerned, there has been no change since last. Im emailed a bit with a scope repair guy whos contact info I got off this thread. But he has since not replied.

Im thinking of selling the rings I have now, to then purchase 27mm rings. That will cut off alot of issues, and speed this right up.
