SKS Weaver Converta Mount.
I have posted a few times in other threads about another choice for a "Over the Barrel Weaver Mount" for the SKS. It is a Weaver Converta Mount that is made for shotguns but it fits the SKS perfect with only minor fabrication. All the fabrication can be done with basic tools in a couple of hours.The parts are cheap and robust that can be found on Ebay for $15.00 to $20.00. I have tried just about every mount out there in the drill and tap variety as well as others and the weaver converta mount wins hands down.The pros and cons to this mount are:
Pro's
- The ability to custom fit the optics to you.
- The ability to change optics in seconds.
- Remove the optic for break down of the rifle for cleaning.
- Zero retention second to none.
- The use on multiple optic formats.
- Clean looking installation.
The only con I can think of is the fabrication if you are not inclined to do it.
I have been using this setup for several months with over 900 rounds shot with different optics. I am confident to say, this system works.
For all you CZ 58/858 boys this mount looks like it will work, just waiting for a friends rifle for final fitment.
If you need further info, give me a PM
