Inspired by swissrifles.com
So the real ones cost $50 eh? I can do better than that. $2.39 1 & 1/4 inch inside diameter shaft locking collar with set screw from the hardware store $0.25 hex head screw to fit threads on clamp $0.00 ? hex head wrench from the pile floating around in the bottom of my tool box Toss the set screw in the tool box to "replace" the wrench you took out. Dremel and file down the screw tip so that it will fit in the sight slot on the K31. Make sure it is round and true to center (as best you can). If you're fancy and sophisticated like me, dip the screw in cold blue to prevent rust on the bare metal left after grinding and filing. Works like a charm!    If you build one and use it, you are required to say out loud "God bless MRW" every time you turn the wrench  or at least don't make fun of my wife's "fruity" Thanksgiving tablecloth  |

Good thinking. I gotta get me some ring clamps now. That looks like it would work on my Mauser and 91/30 too with a little work on the ring with a dremel.
God bless MRW. |

Fantastic idea! You just got a mention in my book of clever ideas to try when nothing else works.

did you have to drill a hole through it first? I'm tool-less right now would you mind sending me one if I send you some money?

no drilling needed. the collar is already drilled and tapped for a threaqded set screw. All I did was toss the set screw and thread in my long screw.
The only "work" I did was shape the end of the screw |

I am not a handy man at all. I still dont have the whole "turn the screw which way to tighten it" yet. I mean I suck when it comes to that stuff. So..... can anyone who is much more of a man than I make me one and sell it to me?
Thanx |
