Anyone have any experience with these? While the rings themselves look very trim and well made I question the solidity of the ring mount to the bases, they simply sit in a shallow milled channel (and not a tight fit) and are held to the base with a single 8-36 screw?

Anyone have some insight? These are Olin era mounts.

Seen 'em, don't use 'em; due to the tiny screw thing. Now, beefed up to a real screw and they might be ok. Or weld or solder them on. Anything but that little screw.

Several companies make bases and rings like that where the ring is held down to the base on a flat surface by a single screw. Not fond of any of them. I suppose if you could get the rings lined up and lay a TIG bead between the rings and bases - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -


coffee But that's just me and I'm kinda funny that way.


When I was a kid. I had the stick. I had the rock. And I had the mud puddle. I am as adept with them today, as I was back then. Lets see today's kids say that about their IPods, IPads and XBoxes in 45 years!
