I'm trying to find the side mount brackets made by Weaver for the Savage Model 6 or the Stevens 87A. According to Weaver, the mount I am looking for is likely the Model "N" or the Model "T". Both have been long discontinued. I have purchased the new Weaver side mount bracket, but with current mounting rings, it would mount the scope off to the side of the barrel. I've tried to add a couple of pictures that show how the mount looks...cannot upload them for some reason. I can email directly if someone needs more info. Does anyone have these old brackets lying around?

I just bought a 1938 Savage Model 7 at a pawn shop 3 weeks ago for $75.
This is the magazine fed version. You have the tube fed.
In the past I have bought the Weaver side rings and side mount for pre drilled old 22 rifles.
I have quit those mounts. Too much money, too hard to order, and the rings are off center or too high.
So I drilled and tapped (4) 6-48 holes in the receiver and attached (2) #15 Weaver bases.
To take the guts out for cleaning and drilling and tapping, I made use of this video. He calls it a Springfield 87A

Rings and mounts; and then there is obsolete, I have both; the one thing I do not have is an ambition for looking. Looking and digging reminds me of posting pictures on the Internet, it is a thankless job.
