German claw mount numbering/ mount questions

[6500rpm2]

I picked up a German claw mount today that fits my 93 clone like a glove with the spring packs removed from the mount. Two questions-

1) What is the number designation on the side? This one is 1240-12-188-1877 (most others I've seen for sale are 1240-12-140-9932). Do these numbers designate what model they're made to fit?

2) Does someone make a set of scope rings that mount dirrectly to the claw so I can install the scope of my choice without adding a rail?

Sounds like you are referring to the STANAG mount; if that is the case, ARMS as well as others make rings that bolt directly to the mount.

That's what I'm talkin about. Any clue on the numbering?

Not sure on the numbering unless it is a lot number; that's a G3kurz question. I'll have to dig mine out and check the numbers to see if they are the same.

RTG also has the rings foresale:

I am just down to one now, but here is a picture of the 2 that I have owned:



Though it is hard to make out in the photo, they are both 1240-12-140-9932.

Do you have a picture of the one in question?

The number signifies the nato stock number aka NSN.

That should close things out, interesting information on the NATO coding, never knew. I paid $100 even on the new claw so if I need to spend a few buck on rings it's still good by me. Thanks for the input.

Thanks guys,

I never knew or even questioned what it was until 6500rpm2 brought up that his had a different number. Thanks again guys 1) for posing the question and 2) for providing a definitive answer.
