How can I adapt a ART MPC scope to a flat top AR10 or AR15?

The base is a weaver style mount. Some say it should fit but the two screws that clamp the base are not spaced right for the Picatinny rails. It is between 1/16th to 1/8 inch difference in spacing of those screws and just enough to prevent me from mounting it to the 1913 Picatinny rails ( MIL-STD-1913)

any ideas? I know I will need a 1/2 riser to get the scope high enough to comfortably sight and shoot.

Thank you for reading this.

I can not understand your fixation on using outdated technology on a platform that it was not designed to operate on. Sure it can be done, but where is the gain. Just get a Weaver rail or for better service, a scope at the same price point of your repairs. A scope that with today's technology and coatings will out preform a 40 year old scope even after being restored.
  Seems similar to wanting to take a 1972 Volkswagen Beetle and install a c-9 Caterpillar engine. The beetle uses the same pusher technology, but the Caterpillar C-9 will outweigh the entire Volkswagen as it was manufactured. Loco
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.
