Buddy of mine has a scope-less carbine and is exploring his options.

Does this style base have a specific name beyond 'claw mount'? What sort of dimensional variations are there? Or should it be a set standard?

I ask as I tripped over this comment on the interwebz
As the old European claw or snap Mounts on Mannlicher-Schoenauers were made and fitted individually by many gunsmiths, the ways of mounting the front base on the receiver ring or Barrel differ from rifle to rifle.

His preference would be to unite an orphaned mount/assembly rather than go down the NECG route. Thanks in advance for any insights.
