Mosin Nagant Scout Scope Mount - Mount Only

Scope your Mosin while preserving its historic integrity. With these scope mounts there is no need for a bent bolt handle. Allows for mounting of Scout Scope or other long eye relief optics on your military surplus Mosin Nagant rifles without the need to drill & tap receiver or make any permanent modifications to the firearm. It is designed to fit over rear sight block in order to allow for continued use of the original fixed/iron sights up to 100 meters. Mount and MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny 8" rail are rigid steel construction with Black Oxide finish. 100% Lifetime Warranty!

SPECIFICATIONS:

The Mount will accommodate a front to back (horizontal) pin center distance of 1.39" (35.3mm) to 1.82" (46.7mm) and allows for .039" (1mm) of up and down (vertical) movement. The Mount is designed to fit over rear sight blocks that measure between .750"(19.05mm) and .787"(20.00mm) wide. The total weight including hardware is 5.5 oz.. However, due to the large number of these firearms produced over many years around the world, it is impossible for us to allow for all manufacturing variation. Bolts are Grade 12.9 medium carbon Q&T alloy steel hardened to Rc 38-44 and have a tensile strength of 177000 psi. Tightening torque is 1.67 ft lbs. Proper tightening of all hardware should result in no movement of the mount during normal firing recoil. If for any reason our Mount does not work with your specific rifle it can be returned (undamaged) for a full refund.

INCLUDED: All necessary hardware, hex wrench, drill (provided to clean out or straighten existing pin holes), punch (light duty punch not designed for difficult to remove pins such as those soldered) and complete installation instructions.

MOUNT DOES NOT INCLUDE SCOPE & RINGS!

FITMENT NOTES:

The pin holes in the rear sight block are often located inconsistently as a result of the original manufacturing process. The two holes are frequently not parallel to each other and may be out of alignment or skewed. The mount can only accomodate so much of this misalignment. You should measure the center distances from pin to pin on both sides and check those with the dimensions listed in the SPECIFICATIONS to ensure that the mount will fit properly. A 3mm drill is provided and can be used to clean out and straighten (to some degree) without enlarging the pins holes once the pins are removed. The pin holes for the rear sight block are generally .118"(3.0mm) in diameter and the supplied 3mm bolts have a nominal OD of .115"(2.92mm). This tight fit along with the use of an appropriate liquid thread locker for the screws and nuts, as well as proper tightening of the same should result in no movement of the Mount during normal firing recoil. Occasionally the rear sight block itself, as it sits on the barrel dovetail underneath, can be out of alignment with the bore axis. This condition, if extreme, can adversely effect how the Mount sits. Please note that some rifles may have pins holding the rear sight block to the barrel soldered in place. Instructions for correctly applying the required heat to remove the solder are provided for use at consumers discretion. Also, some may have pins that require the use of substantial force to remove. This should be done with a heavy duty punch (not supplied). The supplied light duty punch is NOT designed for difficult to remove pins. NOTE: A MAPP (Methyl Acetylene Propadiene Propane) gas torch and heavy duty punch may be required to remove existing pins from the rear sight block if they are soldered in place. You can usually find these items at your local hardware or plumbers supply. The application of heat, if done properly, will not cause damage. Keep in mind that you only need to reach the melting point of the solder and that this same temperature was achieved during original construction without adverse effects. Procedure provided in supplied instructions.

Any scope or mount that suffers an impact should not be trusted to be accurate. If you feel your mount has been compromised you can still use your original open iron sights. Design subject to change without prior notice. Caution! Improper installation or use may result in damage to property, severe injury, or loss of life. If for any reason this product does not function properly, discontinue use immediately. Always practice proper SAFETY and ensure an UNLOADED condition before beginning installation.
