Hey, gunnies -

I've got a Bushnell Trophy 2-6x32 pistol scope on a Darrel's mount on my M44 Noisy Magnet. I really like the setup. Quick-pointing, easy to load, and it feels sort of less "formal" than the conventional mount on my K31, or other rifles I've shot. It just feels right, at least on this gun.

Well-made part, too.

The fly in the ointment is a lack of eye relief. I need more rail forward of the rear sight mount, especially at higher magnifications.

So, is there a part I can buy that will attach to the weaver rail on my mount, and provide additional mounting space forward of the existing rail? I can see clearly in my mind how this would be made, but has anyone actually done it?

Thanks...

You might want to look at a 7 or 9 inch rail extension by Yankee Hill Machining. I've seen them sold at cheeperthandirt.com

I bought the 7 inch rail to turn my Mauser scout into a normal scope mount but it wasn't long enough. It seems solid, though.
 
Does the difference in

slot dimensions present a problem when clamping the picatinny extension to a weaver rail, or when using weaver mounts on the new rail? Sounds like you were trying to do the same thing I am, but in the opposite direction.

This may be what I need.
