I have the rear section of the sight that adjusts the point-of-impact right-left and up-down. I have the scope too. I need the TUBE that the rear adjuster mounts to and which bolts on the side of the M23A1 mount. When I figure out how to post pics I will show a pic of the mount and the adjuster that I have.
If someone has one that is off their mount as a loaner - I can get it made by digital printing or CNC mill cutting machine or perhaps some other casting method.
OR if someone knows where that part is I am a BUYER!!!!!!

Re: WTD: Help reman'ing the tube in the M8 armored car M23A1 scope mount
he rear part that I have is missing the semi-circular arm that holds the scope down in the mount but I believe I can make that with a water jet cutter and so milling work....unlikely to be able to find the piece itself but I know what it must be like....like the bottom with a fork for the hold down screw.
will put A PHOTO UP LATER TODAY

Hi Dan
There seems to be a couple of variations in that front telescope mount. This is the setup I have. I am missing all of the ring mount piece as you can see, and only have the rear mount itself. The front mount I have is on the bottom right and it looks like it is the same setup you have.
These bits and pieces seem to be harder and harder to get.
