back again.

the pics are what i have available.

2x heavy duty side by side plates, size 78mm x78mm
2x small dovetail plates. 150mm long

i cant sell the heavy duty dovetail plate as its on the scope.

it has four holes tapped into it to allow the side plates to be rotated 90 deg

it would be fine for two lightweight scopes if you look closely the two small dovetail plates have a flat section on the side where the bolts clamp rather than the all the way down angle on normal dovetails.

you can check out the website and confirm that what i have is whats listed. if you want them you can have them at 60% cost plus postage. ( wont separate as they arent usefull apart)

thers a 50 cent peice for scale in the pic.
