Aw thanks guys. I only managed it because of the help I got on here from much more experienced and knowledgeable members inputs.
Going through a rarely used parts drawer yesterday: I still have some DSA's I had made for MTC Mamba scopes - and some less refined friction fit slide on DSA's that can be used for sub 46mm smooth eyebells if masking tape is wrapped round the eyebell till its a 46mm diameter reliable slip on friction fit. I should be able to make them thumbkey clampable too - but they won't be as refined as the one's I had CNC'd for me. Seems tape on an eyebell is acceptable for add ons these days.
I can still supply a rig with either of these scope adaptors which might please one of two visitors who I had to decline a sale to on Friday night - hoping they read this, they know who they are.
Now I can subject any members on here who have not seen them before to a video about the MTC type DSA.

The eyebell of this Mamba looks unusual because I forgot to remove the collar I use for the thumbkey adaptors while taking the photo.

Obviously I’ve just joined at the wrong time as I see they are no longer available. Will keep my eyes peeled for any coming up on the sales thread. Just out of interest, which not was CNC’d and what was it made from?

Actually.... a buyer who asked me to keep one back for him never bought it. I've not redavertised it.
So I can still supply one with a perfectly machined scope adaptor, and a further one that is not quite as professionally finished at the front end because i modified it from a slip on eadaptor on my own hobby machines - there are chaffing marks beneath the thumbkey strap of the latter.
For what its worth I now know of two Kwikfit owners who bought a trendy new rig who regret their decision to sell, one managed to cancel the sale at the last minute.
The other one is considering his options.
