Some Mosin Nagant help

[Indiana Jones]

Hey guys, I recently got another Mosin, after years of missing my other one. This one is a numbers matching 1943 Izhmash 91/30 with all matching numbers and matching bayonet. The wood is spotless.

DISCLAIMER: I will NOT EVER bubba a rifle. It irks me beyond belief.

That said, for shits and giggles, I want to put a scope on it occasionally. Is there a type of mount that requires NO modification to the rifle? I dont want a scratch on this thing. I know some rifles you can pop out the rear sight and put a mount in place of it. Do they make one for these? All I see are UTG rails and stuff. Id like to mount a modern optic on it, as I frequently shoot my friends original sniper Mosin.

If there are no mounts like im looking for, does anyone have a pre-bubba'd Mosin, or one where the wood is terrible? I'm willing to buy a wrecked beater to tinker with. However I have a real problem with messing with history. If it's already bubba'd I'd like to make lemonade. Know what I mean?

Speaking of 7.62x54R....I missed a WICKED PSL deal. My friend sold one recently for FOUR HUNDRED BUCKS. Can't believe I missed that.

This makes me cry inside.


Anyway, on topic, this looks interesting: http://brassstacker.com/Mosin-Nagant-9130-See-Thru-Scout-Scope-Mount-9130-SSM.html

It just uses the stock rear sight pin holes from what I read. It's the least invasive mount I've seen that I'd actually trust to hold a zero.

This seems to be a decent idea on how to scope one. It involves using only handgun scopes, the kind you might put on a Blackhawk or something, but you can easily restore it to factory if you want.

Sportsman's guide has rail that replaces the rear sight. I'm not good enough with the computers to link it. Was thinking about it for mine. It's a set that comes with the rail, a scope, rings, a rubber but pad, and a sling. The whole set up is under 65 bucks I think.

Started with just an antique receiver and barrel from a Finnish M39.

Gray/Green zinc parkerized.

Burris fixed 4 power handgun scope.

Weighs 18 pounds and the muzzle brake makes the recoil feel like a .22 caliber.

It's good to be a Machinist.

I put a red dot on my 43Iz and then took it off.
Yes, punching the pin out was a pain and putting it back in was too. It did not punch out too easy. Yes it left a scratch but normal shooting puts scratches on it over time as well.

2 trips to the range and I pulled the Red Dot.

For a scope you need as said a pistol scope because the eye relief is pretty far.

If you put a scope on it, I think you'll need to also accurize it and shoot it slow, or all the accuracy you gain by the scope will be lost.

Best Scout Mount made. No mods needed, just install and add a LER Scope.

This is my 8mm Spanish Mauser with LER scope and mount replacing rear sight, with NO modifications to the gun.

I have yet to see a scope mount that will hold up under the 7.62x54R recoil.
