Anyone have pictures and measurements of original GI 330/ M73B1 leather scope caps? I've seen several variations that folks insist were authentic (some of which I knew were not). Anyhow, I think I'll make some of them (maybe for the Alaskan and K2.5 too) but would like the real deal to make the pattern from.
Thanks,

Saw those... little different, they're a one piece strap/cup. Thank you though,

Turner saddlery was talking about making them awhile back, ask him.

I now noticed the difference. Attached a picture of the leather caps as they came with the rifle from the Austrian Army. They were sold either with plastic caps and connecting leather string, or with the leather caps.
