1903a3 Side mount scope mount

[Old Fart]

First off I want to apologize for the crappy pictures. I forgot to bring a tri-pod with me which made it tuff to focus.

I've got a 03a3 that has had some kind of side mount screwed on it. Does anyone have any experieince with a set-up like this and could you give me a link for a replacement?

Thanks up front for you help.

Not too many companies made side-mount scope bases for the Springfield - even when it was popular for sporterizing projects.

Mine had a Griffin & Howe double-lever side mount - but, for the life of me, I can't recall how many screws anchored it, those many years ago.

IIRC, the Williams QC Convertible Side Mount base has always used three screw, ILO the four on your rifle; and although Weaver made them, I think they used three screws also.

I would contact G&H with all your rifle's screw hole spacing measurements, and the screw sizes.
If they no longer currently make the base, perhaps they will custom drill a blank base to your measurements.

looking at the spacing and the removed wood, I believe that it is drilled for a weaver side mount base.  I think either a 3 or an M

I think you are right. Just found one to match.
