cast a epoxy 1 or get a mould made (these are really cheap) and cast it out of aluminum

in aus (bunnings) you can get aluminium square pipes

cut one in half [] to [ and glue it on to your gun

i think you could get it in America

hrmmmm ... ok well i think i wouldn't cast it becuase too hard for me and i haven't done it before .. but i do live in Aus :) an ther is a new Bunnings that was made about 2 km away :D

hrmm it cant be square becuase the rail need to be like a H shape sorta so the grip things can fit int the gaps if that makes sense ...
(i have tried making 2 outta of tube and a square)

now thinking of it , casting one would be ideal well all in all great suggestions :) keep them coming .haha

yes i have seen and looked into that gun before (not for the scope) but on that gun how exactly does he attach it ? (looks like a store bought rail mount)

casting is easythe first cast i did was a 2-1 foot heat sink and i think that a heat sink is harder than a rail mount

Scope Mount

Never mind the elevation adjustment in the pic below. If you look at how the scope is mounted to the adjustment you'll see that all it is just a piece of flat bar with 2 spacers. The bar is cut to the width and length of the scope mount.
