You might luck out and find a base but who knows how long that will take. Looking at the serial numbers on the bottom of the Colt scope it looks to be mfg in 1969 in the 10,000 range. The ArmaLite AR-18/180 inverted post scopes 1,000 were mfg 67 and 2-3,000 more in 71 for the Costa Mesa and Howa rifles. By the time the Sterling AR-180 started mfg in 1975 the ArmaLite scopes were no longer numbered, I'm guessing 5-6,000 Haako cross hair scopes were produced for the Sterlings. In the early 1980s Hakko started mfg of 4x20 ArmaLite scopes but the order was cancelled and less than 20 of those scopes made their way to the USA years later. Depending on the time of the production run it appears the Colt and ArmaLite scopes were the same except for the markings and bases.
