Isn´t that Weaver (or a Weaver-clone) ?
The screws and the rest of the bottom halves shrieks WEAVER, the top halves are nowadays made of "bent plate".
I´ll have a look in my "old ring box" and return......

Thanks guys. I was thinking Weaver as well but I'm coming up empty. I'm wondering if they could be of foreign manufacture.

Sorry, by foreign, I meant non-US.

Clutch,
I found a matching pair in the "old ring box". They have no markings, the big locking screw looks the same as the more recent Weaver rings. The 4 small screws to the top half doesn´t look like the more recent "bent plate" type screws. (different head and recess for screwdriver)
It could be a Weaver-clone, I know Sako once made Weaver-like rings but I don´t have any to compare with in my box.
Found some Weaver hinged flip-to-side rings in the box that I had totally forgot about
There was a guy looking for that type to a "project- rifle" - nice find

Looks like "Wide View" brand to me. They made/make a VERY similar weaver style ring.

Thanks! That KS-350 looks really close! I might be able to get some old Weaver knobs to use on those guys. |

Got the Kwik-site rings. They are close but not a match. I'm disappointed that the pics on their site are misleading.

Did you try looking for vintage rings on some of the auction sites? Don't know why I didn't suggest this before.

I've tried Ebay and Gunbroker. Are there any other good ones?

A uction A rms is another. Local gunshows sometimes also are good places to find vintage rings like these.
I am assuming we won't get in trouble mentioning the other sites as we are discussing something SWFA doesn't carry.
