How do I mount a scope on my Mosin

[MRCLARK]

I see Kalinka has these http://www.kalinkaoptics.com/detail.aspx?ID=554 for sale but I have no ideal how they mount onto my 91/30.

I,m sure its faily simple just like me. Any tips folks and no my gun is not a mosin sniper.

Thanks

i think that for the original PU mount youll have to drill/tap the side of the receiver for the PU mount base, and also trim some of the stock away to accomodate it.
youll also have to replace/bend the bolt.

i was considering a PU mount with a PU scope but altogether with the mount, scope, gunsmithing fees, etc it would be over $400.

i opted for a no-gunsmithing weaver mount like this:

for $9 off of e-bay, it replaces the rear sight and mounts with one cross-bolt and 3 set screws.

and i will mount an LER pistol scope with a small objective on it, like this:

and it shouldnt look too out of place. it might even work better because of the lower mounting and faster tracking of the scout-style mount as opposed to the PU.

Look up "Bits of Pieces" gunsmith in delta B C he has done several . BB

original PU mount base mounts on the side of the receiver like this:

you can see where the wood needs to be removed as well as the 2-4 holes that need to be drilled/tapped, depending on whether or not you want the locking screws.
