Personally would rather have a more original blued set, but my chances of
rushing to installing the caps at the range, could ruin a nice vintage scope..
Thanks,

This is what he emailed me - “I charge $25 per cap. They are made from 12L14 steel.
They are polished and ready to blue. I do not blue.”
I don’t know him personally and just passing along info because it was so tough for me to find anyone who made them. Sam Marshall would be the best resource for questions. I just know mine fit well and look nice.
