I would like to know the manufacture of these rings. They are obviously of great quality but the height will not work for my application.

I looked around at all the usual suspects: USO,Badger, NF, Seekins and none appear to be right. They are steel and are 35mm. They measure .315" from where the rail would sit to the low point on ring which would end up being a total height of 1.00398" (.315 + .68898) to the mid point of the tube if Im calculating ring height correctly. Both are only marked "35" over "4013" on each.

Any ideas?

Re: Who made these rings?

Could be TPS. If the nut measures 7/16" They are most likely TPS. Also, Take the top off the rings, and there should be marks inside the ring.

See the marks I'm talking about between the threads when the top part of the ring is off.

The design definetly looks like Badger but on their website all the 35mm rings are marked on the top cap with the size. Also on the body the size is marked with "mm" after the 35.

nut is .5" and undersides of the caps have nothing between the holes.

They're not TPS, the geometry on the top cap shows they are Badgers. The TPS rings have a larger angle in terms of the top flat part, and the Badgers like the ones in your picture have a less aggressive angle. However, you can just call Badger tomorrow and verify if it's theirs.
