Update on D&T hole spacing. Recently plab measured the D&T hole spacing on his Spiegel, and I measured the same dimensions on my 99B. See table below. Given that the measurements were done by two different people using different calipers, the dimensions for the two holes in the tang could be the same, but the dimensions for the barrel holes all show that the holes on my 99B are 0.125" - 0.155" closer to the muzzle than the barrel holes on plab's Spiegel.
I know very little about early scopes, scope blocks, etc. Anyone have any idea as to what mounts might fit? I would guess the hole to hole spacing would be the critical dimension. And of course the rear block would have to be able to accomodate the cocking indicator. Thanks for any help.

For some reason once I post this the spacing on the table changes. Haven't figured out how to correct that.
