I've now got a decent T/C Maxi Ball mould and a good pig load for my T/C Scout pistol but my eyes are not what they were which means I need to fit a scope. Thing is I'm in England and most of the sellers on the bay will not ship abroad for some reason yet they expect me to ship my vintage Martini bits over to them. Anyway, enough ********....I could use some help with which base and rings set up I can use so my search can be widened therefor having more chances of finding a seller willing to post out to me. I was thinking of a Weaver Encore base and rings but not sure if this will fit the Scout, anyone know the answer ? I've even contacted T/C Arms for help, but no answer from them. There is only a small handful of UK shooters with these pistols and they only use them for paper punching so no help or advice available over here. I would love to hear from anyone who has a Scout with a scope fitted for ideas, also, if anyone see's a Scout base and rings for sale please give me a heads up..

A Google search is showing that a
Weaver #404
T/C #9980/9981
T/C base adapter #9823
will/should fit, there may be others. There was mention that the TCR base would fit also. I know Leopold made a base, for the TCR, at one time.

I see that the Weaver #404 is listed as fitting both the TC Scout rifle and pistol. --->>> https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1009204079

There's one for sale on eBay which some sellers will export if asked.
The label on the eBay base clearly says for TC Scout Rifle & Pistol. --->>> https://www.ebay.com/itm/Weaver-404-Top-Mount-Base-Thompson-Center-Scout-Rifle-Pistol-Mnt-48106-no-scews/274432919414?hash=item3fe57a0776:g:G04AAOSwD0dd2Le b

Here's the auction info. for when the link disappears:
Weaver 404 Top Mount Base Thompson Center Scout Rifle Pistol Mnt 48106 no scews
Seller: tacticalreseller
Mount Number 48106
eBay item number:274432919414


Brownell's UK also lists the Weaver #404 base with Weaver part number 48106.
However the description is not the same which may be why some buyers said that it didn't fit their non-TC gun.
They do ship to the UK but it needs to be special ordered. --->>> https://www.brownells.co.uk/TOP-MOUNT-BASES-68-604-404-Base-WEAVER-Aluminum-Black-1-Piece-Weaver-Style-Bases-Front-Base-Rear-Base-Winchester-Savage-Arms-HR-Anschutz-CIL-1895-99-61-900-63-03-1899-232C-980-Ultra-153-Deluxe-955010404

Thanks for the replies. I've bought a Weaver 404 from the bay, hopefully it will fit. Surprised not even a reply from TC Arms.
