Finished the design of the reproduction Stoner 63 scope mount. Old thread was archived.
Now to have it 3D printed to check that all works and fits before spending the effort and money making reproductions in steel. The exploded views below do not have the spring shown that is under the button.  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Progress has been made, and some redesign needed too on the latch.
3D printed in nylon 12 to check for fit and function before getting them machined in steel.  Attached File Attached File |

It seems that the rear sight of the rifle prevents you from making a "product improved" version that would be lower. Am I correct in that? |

If you own the Stoner receiver technically you have the ability to have all the configurations, its just collecting all the parts for each variant.
I intend to make a lower mount that might sit a bit forward of the rear sight to use a red dot type of sight. Stoner owners are not necessary looking for a practical scope mount for shooting but for a piece of kit that comes closer to finishing out their Stoner collection. Original mounts are damn near unobtainable. |

I really appreciate guys like you and Mongo sharing all the technical details that helped remove a lot of the mystery of the 63 series. |

If we ever run into each other at a shoot you can let a belt go on the Stoner.

I don't know much about the platform BUT I do know good work when see it.
NICE JOB! |

I just realized I did not have a picture of the original scope mount I was trying to reproduce in the thread. Unfortunately a picture is my only reference so I had to reverse engineer the design without any known dimensions except the interface dimensions and the STANAG scope interface dimensions.

Have you tried doing a picture scale underlay, within your 3D model to compare the mount profile?
It might help confirm the outer profile geometry and some of the other feature locations. I think you can do it with only one dimensional reference. Let me know if you want me to make a 3D model from your picture of the original mount. I can export it in .stp or .stl and a .dxf flat pattern if you want to laser the side plates (if you make it a weldment). Looks awesome btw. |

Yep, that’s it.
Does your software do the 2D to 3D edge projection off of the picture contrast or did you have to manually do the edge selection with point to point geometry? |

Great work.
I’m looking forward to seeing the steel mount and the range review. |
