Comment on Does anyone know where or even IF I can purchase this scope mount part?

I think the best solution would be to replace the scope rings with raised Picatinny compatible rings. That removes the need for the intermediate adaptors at all. With new rings you can attach straight to the claw mount. Something like this.
The other solution would be trying to hunt down a non-Picatinny riser which is probably going to be more of a hassle, and the new setup would be better anyway.
Locktite on the next set of rings.

Kinda ashamed that I never thought about just getting scope rings! I’ll definitely look into those. Thanks for the Locktite tip!

How is the scope working out? I assume it’s a 3x or 4x non-illuminated meant for a .22lr?
I’ve been doing well with a cheapo Monstrum 3x prism sight. It’s got an illuminated reticle making its usable enough at close quarters while being handy for primarily outdoor play.

I really like it, and yeah, you were close! It’s a 32mm non-illuminated scope with a 3x-9x variable zoom. And it is in fact meant for .22LR - I picked it up brand new for a measly 250 PLN (~$60)
Granted, I rarely, if ever, use the higher zooms, because neither my MP5 or my cheap sniper rifle are accurate enough to make use of that kind of magnification.
And that prism sight looks real nice! I don’t mind having a basic scope, since I’ve gotten quite decent at hip firing at close range, so I’d rather have the added power a scope like that provides.
And since you’ve shared your build, I’ll share mine, in my dingy old garage back when I was cleaning it.

That’s one’s without the foregrip and the laser module attached. It’s quite literally a poor man’s G3, but hey, as long as it works.

It is a CYMA. In retrospect, I think a railed grip like yours would have been more practical than my SD, but I do like being able to fully collapse the stock.
If I can be a spoilsport, please, please don’t use lasers. Lasers introduce real world eye safety hazards, some more than others, but none of them are great. Especially cheapo lasers from aliexpress or wherever can sometimes be stronger than listed because neither the buyers or sellers tend to care. My laserbox is fake an is only an external battery compartment for the gun.
