Texican Slim # 87963 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 This is for an old orange HOPPE'S front rifle rest, to go between the knurled adjustment ring & the base. It needs to be 1-1/2" to 2" with a 7/8" hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 If you don't find one I can make you one in a couple of weeks. The material will be about 1/4 in thick though. As an alternative you can cut a decent washer out of a cheap plastic folder or notebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs to be 1-1/2" to 2" with a 7/8" hole. bought one of these back in the early 70's but do not remember a washer. when did this come about?

Texican Slim # 87963 Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 The HOPPE'S rest didn't come with a washer from the factory. I had a much higher dollar rest that did come with a washer & it operated so much smoother than the HOPPE'S, so I want to add a washer to my HOPPE'S rest.

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Try Ace. Will be nylon instead of teflon but should work OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texican Slim # 87963 Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Because Fastenal does not stock that washer, they would have to order it & by the time they got it to their store that little washer would cost me about $16.

Texican Slim # 87963 Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 I found one at Bryan Marine, a local boat selling place. I remembered, years ago I bought a couple bass boats, how the outboard motors were mounted with 3 big bolts through the transom & they had big washers made of some plastic-like material. $3.
