@Dennis_in_VA Is this a go, or is it dead in the water? People have been asking for updates for about a month now...

You can simply buy a set of Davidson bases, unless all of your guns have integral Pic rails. But I get what you're saying.

Buying a Davidson base, so I can put on a scope checker... that is going to require me to either a) buy all new Davidson style rings or b) buy a Davidson-to-Picatinny adapter... not sure I could put into (polite) words how much I do *not* want to go thru that kind of nonsense.
...or maybe someone could make a Picatinny-style scope checker base. Which is what I thought this thread was supposed to be about (as opposed to the other one, for your Davidson style version).
Given the lack of response, both here and on the Facebook page... not looking good.

Sir, if you're referring to me and facebook, don't. I am open with my contact info and also that phone is the best way to reach me. I do try to respond to everyone's emails and messages on the various forums as well. I've been clear from the start that I don't have plans of making a pic version and Dennis was supposed to make those. I can't help with that. Not sure if he still has any but when I spoke with Charlie Hood about making these, he still had a few pic versions on the shelf. If Dennis is too busy, you might try Charlie. I can't promise either way but it may be worth a call. I hope this is of help. --Mike Ezell

Mike,
I didn't involve you in the discussion in any way, shape or form. I specifically asked *Dennis* if the Picatinny version he had talked about was alive or dead. Any references I made were to *this* thread, this project, and the people who were supposed to be the ones making it happen - not you, or I would have addressed you specifically. You jumped in on your own
I wasn't aware that Hood had ever made a Picatinny version. Since this particular project here seems to be dead in the water, I'll have to give him a holler.

It may be dead, but I will be getting a prototype pic style tester that's a little different. If it works which I don't see why it won't it will be pretty cool. So something is coming.
Ok Monte,,my fault. Just trying to be of help. Yes, Charlie told me himself, that he had some picatinny versions on the shelf at that time.

I spoke to Mr Adams recently and he said he has a run of 40 in the works. Took a few days for him to return my call, but he eventually did and put my name on one. We'll see.
How does one get in contact with Mr. Hood?
I'll take one when you have them done - sent you a PM.

Good question... since nobody answers the number listed on BR Central (and there is no voice mail or answering machine), the email address comes back as invalid, and I found posts over there from ~2010 saying he was about ready to hang it up back then.
The email address I have for Charlie is...
hoodpress@windstream.net

Yeah
It's still alive
I'm just stretched thin on available time right now

I think this would be great. More versatile.
