It has been a while since I saw a good FTX v2 for sale last time so just want to share it with the group (I'm not the seller): ConditionExcellent LocationSan Francisco Bay Area Link to the AD:

Thanks for the info Rich.. I just ordered the ADM Dovetail for my FTX V2..Clear (and Smokeless) Skies! [email protected]> wrote:

AlanI?just purchased an ADM adapter saddle for my FTX and it works fine. Width of the dovetail bar from ADM is identical to the original equipment from Half Hitch. The Vixen dovetail bar is about 44

The width of the ADM-machined dovetail bar for?Half Hitch mounts?is 53mm - just a bit over 2”. I have?both the FTX v.1 and v.2 saddles and it fits in both. ?I’d call Anthony at ADM as he is

Ron…..This is fantastic! I thought that if I used longer screws it might become possible for them to crack or break from the extra torque or load they would be subjected to, but obviously this is

Alan, OK, I figured out your issue. You have the short version of the 5 clamping screws. Charles had them available in two different lengths. I vaguely recalled when I ordered by FTX V2, I specified

I'm a bit confused. I thought the ADM HH dovetails were made specifically to fit on the Half Hitch mounts. I'm using a ADM dovetail bar (the dual HH) on my Nova Hitch mount. Ron
