    These appear to have been modified, and were similar to, but I'm not 100% sure these are m85...

    They show up on ebay every few years...

    The last one i saw sold for about $15.00, as no one recognized it.

    I believe you can buy conventional bases to mount conventional rings.

    I did have a one piece mount but for a 1 inch scope and I sold it on that site for £150. You can use the standard 26 mm PH rings but appreciate the 1 piece mount is better. It is a very rare mount and not often seen

    High rings will work (26mm RAHS4, or one inch RAHS3), but the recoil stud/s will have to be removed. They'll be much easier to obtain than the one piece mount. Otherwise, you might be waiting for a real long while for one.
