Crazy question about a ring mount

[pdstout]

Guys, will the German mg3/42 ring mount fit on the m66 legs? The mount is 34" across.
Thanks,P Stout

I will measure mine when I get home. It looks to be of a differant configuration. What are the measurements between the mounting bolts. pm me info.

I realize this is a very very old thread, but I just wanted to bump it up. I have an opportunity to purchase one of these as well as a live rifle for it. I realize it won't match, but for the price, it's hard to let it pass.

Is it possible to merge this ring with the M66 legs?

I don't know much about gun rings, but it seems to me that since it has all those bolt holes around the edges, a good shop could fab an adapter to bolt on to the bottom of the ring that would fit the legs. If you could borrow a standard US ring or get good photos and measurements I'm sure someone could easily make something out of plate steel.
