Mosin Nagant Rifle Scope Mount

This item is OK, but not in any way universal. The centerline interface/base-rail of this mount is 0.50" in width, whereas on my Finnish-made Mosin the gap between the rear-sight mounting lugs is only 0.316". I considered sending it back at that point, but it wasn't much money so I decided to see if I could make it work. I therefore had to mill-down about 0,092" from each side of the mount's base-rail. IF YOU DO THIS, ENSURE THAT YOU REMOVE THE STEEL INSERTS FIRST! This was not hard with a mill (took ~90 minutes including setup), but would be a HIDEOUS JOB if you were to try to do this with hand-tools. This is an acceptable product, but measure the gap between your rifle's rear-sight's mounting-lugs before ordering. If it's not 1/2-inch, consider the work you'll have to do to make it fit.

I have not shot with the scope mount but it seems well made. The installation instructions were good and I had no problems with the installation of this scope mount on my mosin nagant 91/30.

Scope mount arrived very quickly and was exactly as advertised. Very satisfiied with purchase.

It's aluminum, so don't run down the screws too much. If you use the original mounting pin for the rear sight blade, it will never move on you. After approximately 200 rounds and one untimely accidental drop of the rifle, the sight is still spot on.
