   Duct tape and Super glue.

   Mosin Nagants aren’t worth the price of a $40 tasco, and a $15 set of rings. . .

   Iron sights only with that rifle.

   You might try the Ultimak cantilever barrel-clamped mount for a scout scope arrangement that leaves your iron sights untouched. You can even get a set of high see-through scope rings and use both iron and scope sights. .

   They don’t have one for the Mosin but you should contact them and see if the one for the AK or M-1 carbine fits.

   If you don’t mind losing the use of the iron sights, this one fastens to the regular rear sight mount.

   check out www. cheaperthandirt. com and they have a kit you can order. . . I had my step son mount mine . . . you have to have the bolt handle cut off and remounted though!

   There are two ways to do this. The cheap way, and the expensive way.

   One requires an experienced Gunsmith to drill the action for the L shaped scope mount bracket that this particular rifle requires. Going this route is going to cost you more than the rifle is worth and will also require a stock modification to accommodate the bracket’s mounting point. This may also require having the stock re-bedded to the action will not move around in the stock.

   The cheap way:

   Obtain a B-Square Scout Scope Mount which will replace the rear sight on your rifle. Then you are going to need to have a look at several Scout Scopes, BSA makes a very nice one.

   You will then need Weaver Type Scope Rings.

   You may still need to have a Gunsmith do the scope mount for you, but the rest of the procedure you can do yourself.

   I have a Mauser that I did this to for a quick hunting rifle that I needed for a trip. It worked out just fine and has been a very good hunting rifle.

   Just keep in mind, this is a long eye relief scope, so it will only be good for certain things. It is not going to be good for all long range applications, but it will give you enough magnification for shots out to 300 Yards or so, but that is a rough guesstimate at this point.

   Good Luck and Happy Shooting.

   S&K or Darrell’s Scout mounts. They replace the rear sight and will require an extended eye relief scope.

   go to www. surplusrifle. com for more information about these mounts.

   take it to the gunsmith and tell him/her what you need. mosin rifles were never designed to have a scope mounted on them.
