    Default Redfield JR. Base for A4

    Can someone tell me if the older Redfield JR. mounts made in USA are steel and not
    this Chinese pot metal crap. I got one from Midway and when shooting the rifle I tried
    adjusting the windage loosening the one side and then moving the other side and ended
    up stipping out one of the wholes on the base, not the screw, it is fine. So I'm wondering if
    I can get my hands on a old vintage one are they made of stronger steel so the holes
    won't strip out. AND - no I wasn't and didn't put a lot of torque on the screw.


    Thanks to all

    Yes, they were made of steel. Or at least the 60's vintage one I had was.
