Question for my fellow mosin lovers

[Rebelson]

I picked up a 1938 Tula round receiver and I'm looking for some advice.

I've had a few mosins over the years some I've bubba'd one or two but....

This one is too beautiful to permanently bubba, so my idea is to buy another bolt body and put a bent bolt on leaving the original alone just in case I want to bring it back to original condition. The real issue I've run into is finding a traditional style (over the receiver and bolt) scope mount that doesn't require me to D&T the receiver, and I'm not a fan of LER scopes. Is there any traditional style mount out there that doesn't require D&T and also holds a zero.

Cheers in advance for the help gents

Other than scout scope mounts, there are no mounts that will hold zero that do not require drilling and tapping.

For the price of whatever no drill and tap system, just buy a different cheap mismatch or already bubba'd mosin and go to town on it instead
