    help identifying C1A1 scope mounts.

    I have these two scope mounts for an FN rifle. I believe one is the C1A1 sniper scope mount, but I have not been able to find out any info about the second one in the photos. Any info is appreciated.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    If you put better pictures up - with a camera and not a mobile - you can usually get to the answer or if not the definitive answer, then by deduction. On that basis and the poor picture, the front one looks like a home tack welded hybrid of something. But I could be wrong!

    FN-C1 scope mount top cover? A thread about the short body cover. Yes, it looks like the scope mount.

    The long mount still looks like a night scope mount to me but since there were so many variations, I can't say. I don't think it will take the PVS 502 though for one...

    Thread 4, photo 4 LOOKS like a locally made version for the heavy old SS20/UKicon type IIW. But to be really honest, the notion that the side slide-on/off mount could be held onto the bracket cover with 4 allen bolts and remain secure under recoil is seems unlikely to me. Simply because…… Anyway!
