Thanks Howard...? I think I may have to do as you suggest and either get one made or try and find a workaround. I thought?about removing the 5 retaining screws and replacing them with longer ones to enable them to reach the thinner bar but that might put too much pressure on the screws themselves.......Ongoing..I will let you know what I come up with for future reference in case any other members have the same problem ?Regards, ?

Hi Alan
To my knowledge ADM is the only company makes dovetail bars for FTX now. If it doesn’t work you may have to consider custom made bars. I have a friend in China who made standard FTX dovetail bars for me before and its quality is same as those sold by Charles. You will need to provide exact measurements though. Maybe you can also find some people to make it for you in the US.

Hi There.... Thanks for your help...I thought that was the answer too!? But it turns out that bar is the same width as a vixen type and is not wide enough. I just called ADM and thats all they have so I might have a problem here..

ideas that might help?
