Over the years I've struggled to find gun related items that seemed no manufacturer offered. Frustrated at scrounging through gun shows and countless catalogs....only to end up getting it made yourself.
An FN-FAL low scope mount that allowed quick removal of the scope if open sights are desired, yet don't obstruct the open sights when the scope is removed. Then return the scope back to zero again with the flip of a lever. Had this custom bolt shroud built out of aluminum billet, added Kimber quick detach rings and bases.
No screws....cover is machined from one piece of aluminum, slides onto the reciever just like the original dust cover.
Same comcept as above only with a handgun...milling part of the existing vent rib off, installing quick detach mounts no higher than the existing rib so open sights can be used. Scope goes back to zero perfectly using Warne rings and bases. (Note: bought a second barrel shroud so as to preserve the guns originality)
Anyone else with ideas you've come up with to get what you really wanted?
