Question on Davidson sleeve

[L W P]

My friend has a Davidson sleeved long action Remington. It has a flat topped sleeve where the scope base goes. My question(his question) is, does anyone make a 20MOA Picatinny Rai to fit this flat topped Davidson sleeve? Thanksl

Check with kelblys. I think they have a solution

Kelbly said that he doesn't make a one piece flat bottom picatinny base. So my friend had to order 2 piece flat bottom dove tail bases. Nobody else chimed in on help.

Otteson Machine Co. is the manufacturer of the Davidson sleeve. The company is still in operation at the same location, 1125 Foster Rd., Las Cruces, NM , (575) 522-6929.

However Kelblys does manufacture a 20moa picatinny rail that slips over a dovetail base!
I think I paid $75.00 for the one I have.

I've made many. Not in that business any more. Get or make a .500" dovetail blank if you want to use Kelbly rings or a Picatinny blank. Machine the proper angle then add screw holes. Pretty straight forward work. .001" taper inch = 3.6 inches @100
20 MOA/3.6 = .005816" TPI
6" parallel in a vice .005816 X 6 = a .035" shim at one end of the parallel. Either between the under the blank or under the parallel.
If you use separate bases get the spacing correct and shim under the parallel.

This is what i was talking about. I have one somewhere but figured they stopped making it if they didnt have one. Right before the f class panda came out they sold a bunch of them
