O.I.P. scope flexible rings

[giancarlo]

Hello everyone!
I recently bought one Belgian O.I.P. scope with its original FN mount.
Unfortunately flexible steel ring which fix the scope to the mount are missing.
Can anyone tell me where can I buy them?
Thank You in advance.

Hello,giancarlo
Welcome to the board, unfortunately it's going to be very difficult for you to find new sources for the scope mount parts you seek. I had the same problem for a few Hensoldt over-the-bore scope mounts and had to fabricate them. It's been a while since I've held an OIP mount like you describe and the Hensoldt side by side for comparison in order to see if the strap system is the same. If they are identical(anyone know?) here is an inch drawing for the straps of a Hensoldt type mount, perhaps they'll work for your OIP.

Ps...Nice to see that Italy won the World Cup quarter final match against the Ukraine. :biggrin:
