I am a collector of antique firearms. One in particular I would like is a WW2 German K98 double claw. The problem is they don’t make these rings/bases in reproduction sets outside of a few many years ago. Attached is a pic of said reproduction from someone I’ve been talking with. He got one of the 5 repro’s made along time ago.
If I can convince the individual to let me
borrow the rings, can I simply take this to a machinist and say “make me this exact same thing?” If so...what else do I need to you? Do I need to know the type of steel, or how specific the tolerances need to be. Or even some type of heat treatment to deal with stress fractures of firing? I’ve got no idea where to begin.

Thank you all for input.
