looking for an old wards (mossberg) scope/ mount

[bigpoppav]

I have a Wards Western Field model 59 (savage 6, 6a , stevens 87, etc, etc!) I found a weaver model 298 scope from about the same year (1939) but the weaver T1 mount that was supposed to work has holes that are approx 2 3/8" CTC. my .22 was factory drilled and tapped at 1 5/8" ctc. Turns out, I need a wards scope mount, number 5 (low) or 9a (high)

Anybody have one of these setups? Any help or info would be great!

okay, ive been corrected! my holes are 1 5/8"... exactly like old mossbergs.... i guess Im looking for a number 5 mount. Ive seen the one brownells has, but i want to look as authentic as possible. once again any help would be great.

BTW, went to the roadrunner show at cal expo today.... plenty of AR parts, even saw a fully set up 16"upper for $369, but no love for the old rimfire guys!!!!
