Mystery part & maker

The part in the photo below was mounted on the tang of a Browning High Wall I bought some time ago.  The tang sight base mounts on the top slide and allows the sight to be quickly removed by removing one screw.  Once the side screw is removed the top section slides in or out in a long dovetail.  I’m not sure what to call the “adapter” and have no idea who made it although I have a vague memory of seeing a reference to a similar part on this forum.  I’d appreciate any info on the adapter or maker.  It's very well made by the way.

Quick detach sight base, I've seen them for sale somewhere...I think I even e-mailed a question to the maker a while back. You can buy the lower part for different rifles ....and attach the sight which is attached to the upper part to any of the rifles at any time that have the lower part of the base mounted on them.

Hi Frank,

Thanks for asking.  I'm planning on selling the adapter along with a bunch of other BPCR stuff and wanted to identify who made it in case additional male dovetail sight bases would be required to match other sights.  I have your contact information & will pass it along to the buyer.
