Choate mount question

[bodacioussureshot]

Gents,

Anyone know what the space/gap is between the top of the receiver cover to the under side of a per instruction SKS Choate drill & tap scope mount ?

I have an idea to modify a shotgun saddle mount and for this task I need to know this distance so I don't go too low or too high.

Guessing it is a matter of personal opinion, however it has me wondering.

thanks to anyone who can help.

Bod

You have to be able to strip the gun without taking mount off. Use a clamp for temporary placement and try how is it working.

My SKS has about 1/2 to 5/8 ( just a little over half an inch) of an inch between the top of the receiver cover and the bottom of the Choate mount. Like Grin said... clamp in place and try to take the cover and the bolt out.
I have to take my bolt out in two pieces ( top cocking handle and then the bottom bolt)
Cheers
