    Israeli #4 No32 scope rings?

    Ok so I picked up 2 sets of these rings the other day.

    They were advertised as Original Israeli #4 enfield scope ring. I tried to put a No32 Mk1 scop in them and they don't fit.

    I can't find a singe thing out about what kind of base they went on or even if they are for the #4 rifle?

    Any Info would be appreciated.

    I wonder where the Israelis fit the two dovetails? Are the rings one inch? I´m waiting for Roger´s mount.

    Israeli made 32 TYPE scope (not a Britishicon made Israeli marked 32 scope) is .985 to .987 in. OD on the tube body.

    Have you measured them both in metric and Imp to find out the size?

    The best I can tell is that they are 25mm or .985 tube diameter.

    RWS. just accept that just by looking at them and understanding the mechanics of it all, they ain't for fitting a No32 scope to a No4 and expecting ANY sort of soldierproof serviceability out of it/them. Built like a brick sxxx house*, they ain't

    * that's a peculiarly Army phrase that indicates a degree of toughness or robustness, like a Centurion tank for example. Also used is '.....built by the people that built Stonehenge.....'

    Well that recess for the locating stud on the front ring is rather unique, isn't it?

    Pity you didn't get the cross bolt & nut for the front ring, but at least you got one.

    Might be made to fit a Parker Hale scope rail/bases, or could have been another commercial or 'custom' type.

    The look a heck of a lot stronger than the RALS3 rings used on the Enforcer.

    Might be something the top one looks to have the anti-cant recess (Excuse my ignorance of the terminology) who knows what they fit but look strong they do but for what as P L said it is not going to fit a No.4 could they have been made for the Parker Hale sniper rifle did the Israelis get there hands on that system!
