I have a Trijicon which fits but I'd also like to be able to use my Leica red dot, which uses the Docter footplate. Chris at HeymUSA doesn't have any Docter mounts.
I assume these are labeled according to the clamp-clamp tightened distance and not the rib width? The appropriate Trijicon mount is 8.3 mm tightened clamp-clamp, the rib is 11.68 mm wide. The Trijicon "for 11-12 mm ribs" is 11.48 closed which doesn't clamp on anything, which makes me think the number is related to the tightened clamps and not the rib.
Anyway, I know I can get another Trijicon and conversion plate (but that's not any fun). Does anyone have a base that would fit, or send me in the right direction for one? Thanks.
