[ARC5] Are you kidding?!?

Mounts are pretty darn scarce.

I only got an original ARB mount after looking for roughly 5 years, and it
was not cheap!

I've not found a mount for a BC-929-A Indicator in over 10 years of looking.

When clean, complete mounts do show, they usually bring over $150 each.
Most probably were turned into beer cans, along with the aircraft.

Steve, I do commend your honesty in marking repros as such.

YMMV,
