Hello Ron,
Thanks for yours. I got the TP ring sets done about 20 years ago so that I & a couple of friends could assemble ourselves TP lookalikes. However, I subsequently got lucky & bought a genuine one from the Charnwood collection, so the reproduction became surplus to requirements. I had about 20 of the bases done, but only the three sets of rings. Hope this fills in a few blanks for you.
Best.

Thanks Roger. Wow - just 3 upper ring mounts. That makes these pretty dam rare. Ron(Canada)

Even rarer than the originals!

At least one in Canada. Any guesses where the other 2 are? Ron(Canada)

To be honest Ron I really can't remember now, though IIRC one did end up on a deactivated rifle & was sold on to a UK militaria dealer some years ago. He moved it on himself in due course, but I'm afraid I don't know to whom it was sold.

Roger had a complete base and ring set made for me to restore an original rifle that was plucked from a load of service rifles imported by Southern Ohio Gun. Alpha Trading import stamp. It shot so well after I was done restoring it, that I wouldn't change it to an original even if I had one. The late Pete Bloom found me an original telescope one number off from the original which made it an even more satisfying project.

Wow. That's 2 of 3. I agree with Brian. Very well made and initially I thought this one to be original until I took the scope out of the rings and saw your marking inside the scope rings. Ron(Canada)
