[QUOTE="MDNimrod, post: 4148804, member: 54848"] Hello. I'm new to this group. I found this thread recently and am trying to mount a scope on my Dad's old .22. Good news is the base, bracket and rings mentioned in the thread are still available. Bad news is it looks like the existing mounting holes on the old .22 are threaded in an odd size. There are 2 holes with screw in plugs at the rear of the reciever that fit a #10-32 screw. The other 4 holes that someone drilled and tapped are an odd size. #8-40 screws into the 4 holes but is loose, #10-32, #8-32 and M4 won't thread (see picture)[ATTACH type="full"]424484[/ATTACH]. Those pretty much cover the outside diameters I could find. Is it possible to drill and tap the 4 odd holes to a #10-32? Thanks for any advice. MD Nimrod [/QUOTE]
