Looking For Measurements And Engineering Drawings Of SMLE Purdey Mounts

[TheAlpineWolf]

Hi All,
Im looking to create a faithful reproduction of the SMLE Purdy Mounting system for the Aldis line of scopes and was wondering if anyone can help me with some engineering drawings or measurements.
I want to use these to create a 3D model, test print the mounts on my 3D printer then eventually get them milled in steel.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as im currently running on images only!
(Is there a patient for these things or some form of description of how they function?)
As always, thanks for your help,
Regards,
Sam.

Is this not the same request that you posted 2 1/2 hours earlier ?

Sorry Alan, I noted the misspelling of Purdey in the title and could fin no way to edit my lat post so I decided a new one would be appropriate!

Jim and Alan, Im not looking to take one out, just was wondering if there is one out there for reference material! (Maybe not the right wording )

We were just giving you a gentle 'ribbing' by quoting you wanted a 'patient' rather than a 'patent'.

Not quite Alan. He has corrected the misspelling of the word 'Purdey'...........

But he is still looking for a "patient" !

Is there a patient

Patent?

[Roger Payne]

Sam, I can't remember coming across the Purdey mount patents, but I have seen the PPCo & one or two others. They show the principles of the mount system, rather than precise measurements. You'd really need engineering drawings for what you want. I've never seen them, but Purdey could still have them I suppose........worth an email?? Or has someone already tried?
