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.
 
frank a reached out to a friend in Germany to see if he could find one. Will let you know answer.

Frank, you can find all of the above, and more, at Optic Trade, and order straight from the US. I have done it several times :)

I too have ordered from Optic Trade and the shipping was quite fast. Bought a Doctor mount for the CZ 19mm dovetail and it fits perfect.
 
Done. Thanks to all.
 
I am looking for a Trijicon RMR mount for my Heym 89B and Chris at Heym USA has told me he is looking for one but so far he doesn’t know when Heym will have one. I did look at Optic Trade web site but nothing comes up under a search for Trijicon Heym mount. I will call them tomorrow but wonder anyone here has a recommendation.

I wanted to suggest optics trade, but @One Day... has been faster! (y)
 
If you have a german claw mount now, I recommend getting the german claw ERA mount above pictured, bottom left. You'll have costs associated with fitting the claws, but it is wonderful to swap optics. The last thing you want is to clamp an optic to your rib crudely on a fine double.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction.
