Due to the apparent lack of good repro No.32 scopes and the astronomical prices of original, I am considering taking my sniper build in a new direction.

Since the rifle I'm working with is a 1944 Long Branch No.4 Mk1*, and the decent availability of Lyman Alaskan scopes, I'm considering build a trade pattern sniper. There is very little information about the TP mounts, but they appear to be Griffin & Howe style, quick detach jobs. I am able to find plenty of Alaskans with the rings attached. I just need a base. I have a machinist friend that might be able to make it for me. I can approximate the profile from pictures, and I can do some match to determine dimensions. I just need the profile and dimensions of the rail.

So, can someone give me a rough sketch and some dimensions on the Griffin & Howe base rail? I'd appreciate it.
