1917 eddystone scope mounts?

jethro75
picked up a 1917 eddystone. it is drilled and tapped for what i assume is scope mounts. the holes are not on top dead center one is on the left and one on the right. the same way on the rear of the reciever. anyone know of any mounts like this? sorry if i can figure out how to post pics i will get them up here.

    as you can see the front holes are actually drilled into the barrel, and not the receiver.

    as the 'ears' have been ground off you have a 'one of'. probably a custom mount. I'd just ignore the existing hold and start over with a 'grind to fit' redfield type

    Those are holes for the oldest type of Weaver mount, pre-WWII. They were available ONLY for scopes with 3/4" diameter tubes, such as Weaver made then. Because of their design, they CANNOT be adapted to larger diameter tube scopes, as the rings are not separate from the bases.

    I have some of these mounts, if you want to give them a try, but don't think I have a proper spare scope (Weaver Model 330 or 440.)

    richarda i would maybe like to try that mount. would it be too much trouble for you to send me a pic of one? how much would you be asking for the mount? thanks

    Let me see if I have a pair that should fit the rifle you have pictured; won't need much for them.

    Thanks litetrigger. But I was hoping to find the mount to fit existing holes that are drilled. Also does that mount require ears to still be on receiver?
