Kilfitt made a number of such housings during the 1950's. None were as mechanically solid as are the PLOOT/Visolfex line of housings but all are useful and optically decent. Novoflex also made such reflex housings. And, of course, the original Soviet "snaiperscop" came with an honest-to-Joe-Stalin made-by-KMZ reflex housing.
