    Exclamation SKS Aluminum Scout Mount from Matador Arms - The Razor!

    We're very to excited to announce that we have the production version of a mount (first seen at the last Thorncliffe Gun Show in Calgary) that allows you to easily and reliably mount a micro-dot reflex optic onto all SKS versions that still allows the use of stripper clips and has a built-in back-up iron sight... introducing the 100% Canadian, SKS Scout Mount from Matador Arms - The Razor!


    This lightweight (less than an ounce!) Alberta-made SKS scout mount/rail allows you to extract the most accuracy from your SKS without adding unnecessary weight or bulk to your rifle; allows you to continue using stripper clips; does not require anything to be removed or even moved for full cleaning and still retains a back-up iron sight system in case your reflex sight becomes damaged or loses battery power.


    Full specifications here: https://colonelmustard.ca/products/r...icatinny-mount

    These mounts are in stock and for sale as from today!

    Ok, so we have installed one of these beauties on the Major's 1950 Tula and we need to come back to our claim that this Scout Mount weighs less than an ounce - it effectively weighs less than nothing!

    ...after removing the rear sight leaf, pin and spring we found that those parts weighed 28g - so effectively this scout mount is so light it weighs less than nothing because as it weighs 26g, the rifle weighs 2g less after installation!

    Coincidentally, we also carry the micro-dot reflex sights to complement this beautifully machined mount.

    We have just added a nice combo to the Colonel Mustard website - the Razor SKS Scout Mount and a green micro-dot sight which has no on/off switch - just take off the cover and it's on, put the cover back on and it's off. Just $149.95 for the combo:

    Got one! They shipped it fast and the mount is so light.

    The hardest part of the install was removing the stock sight and spring.

    The mount also makes a nicer rear sight than the factory one.

    Ahead of BabySeal's report, I can just say that this thing is completely solid once it's installed - there is no movement whatsoever, so it would seem impossible for it to not hold zero.

    Two grub/hex screws push down against the part of the receiver that was covered by the rear sight spring. We found that it was easier (and it seemed more mechanically sympathetic) to lever up the rear of the scout mount, as you screw in the first grub screw, in order to get the rail parallel with the top of the bolt - which is easy to see as there is about 0.5mm clearance - awesome engineering! The second grub screw goes in on top of the first, to lock everything in one position. Matador Arms do say that you could use thread locker in their instructions, but we don't think it's at all likely that the screws will move.
