Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Mauser developed the 66SP sniper rifle after the terrorist attacks on the 1972 Munich Olympics, and built only around 400 over their entire production run. It may be the rarest military-issue sniper rifle in the world. Most went to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), but they were also used by Germany’s GSG-9, the Italian Carabinieri, Indian special forces, and reportedly by the British SAS. Just under 200 have been imported into the United States over the past quarter century. To my knowledge, only ten of the US imports were sold with original Mauser QD (quick detach) scope bases. None were imported with STANAG mounts. This is milled from heavy steel, weighing in at 15.5oz (440g). The mount's throw lever is attached to the base using a hacksaw-shortened machine screw secured by a dab of blue Loctite. A Colt takedown detent and its (shortened) spring give the throw lever the friction it needs to stay in place while being attached to the rail. The end result is solid. The mounts fit easily and lock securely to the original rail on your rifle. They are unmarked. None has had a scope mounted to it, but most show minor dings from long term neglectful storage. Obviously, this auction is for only the scope mount. No rings, scopes, rifles, accessories, or real estate are included. This is exactly the item you see selling on GunBroker. I’ll check my messages daily to answer any questions or send additional photos if needed. (NOTE: The PVS-2 in my photos is available cheap from What a Country, but the pictured setup is NOT a good night vision solution. The PVS-2 requires a “boresight assembly” to adjust the sight reticle, and the boresight assembly will not mount to the SP66. With good reference points and firing from a fixed position, the pictured setup pictured could work, but you’d do much better with a PVS-1, British IWS, or ideally one of the surplus German Zeiss Fero Z51 night scopes that I missed buying a few months ago. If you have a spare, let’s do a trade.) GUARANTEE: If you don’t like your scope mount for any reason, send it back in original condition at your expense within one week of delivery and I’ll refund your payment less a 20% restocking fee (this discourages “tire kicking” and ensures I don’t lose money on postage).
