Hey nuts, question for the milsurp crowd.

I bought my Mosin Nagant a few weeks ago ( love it, feels good, looks awesome, shoots great) :ar15: Im curious about mounting a vintage style scope onto it. I've looked at a few of the sponsor sites and from what I've seen they seem to be sold out of the mounting kits.
Any body know where a good setup is offered?

Also the local gun shop here says they're supposed to be getting a shipment of milsurp 7.62x54r in crates, its somewhere on the boat between here and Europe, havn't been back to followup on that yet, but if anyone knows anything fill us in!
 
ebay for the scopes and mounts, you also need the bolt bent, there are many threads about it. Cheaper is scout scope mount, check some sponsors like tradeex, they have it or ebay. Marstar is the one importing the ammo.

Consider just buying one of the excellent repro Mosin snipers already here in the country. The mounts are on straight, all the work is done, good repro scope too.
 
I bought a "scout" scope mount for my Mosin and it was junk. The little set screws (hex screws) strip the threads out of the soft aluminum mount if you tighten them too much. Tighten them less and the screws and mount come loose. Two of the set screws were too short so the other screws used to secure them had nothing to bite into. I had to finally buy replacement set screws (longer ones) and use lock-tite to keep everything together without over tightening them. I'm still not confident the mount won't move eventually. I'd say the bent bolt thing and (flame away....) drill and tap your $100 rifle and then don't worry about it. $700 + seems a little much for a "pretend" sniper rifle if you decide to go that way. Have fun :)
