Where in Canada can I find SKS mounts

[Chupacabra_Hunter]

Hi I'm looking for a receiver mount specifically. I have had the absolute worst luck trying to find a place that ships within Canada.

In advance, thanks a lot for the help guys.

Sksman .com ships to canada

thanks guys, I'm liking that sksman store. But I'm a terribly neurotic consumer so keep the recommendation coming fellas. Also other accessories too but my priority is that receiver mount.

You want an actual receiver cover with the mounting system built in (like the NC Star Tri Rail Mount)? Or do you want to fix the sighting system to the frame of the gun?

I have tried both types of mount and by far, by a long, long way, the choate type of mount that fixes to the receiver frame is better. The ones that are built into the receiver cover will not keep zero. Even with the little screws to hold it in place, the recoil of the firearm will work the screws loose and you will lose zero after 4-5 shots.

Buy a choate mount from one of the dealers on this site (follow the links at the top) or order it from ebay.

hmm you bring up a very good point. I don't have the skills of tools for gunsmithing and am on a fixed budget. But I suppose why buy something that won't do the job, am I right?

you are right dont waste money on the receiver cover ones. sure they are easy and cheap, and can look good, but over all they dont hold zero.

the only tools you need for the better mount are a drill, proper bit, and tap

Choate ships to canada I bought my choate mount directly from them. They have all the proper permits.

How much did that cost ya

We have lots of SKS accessories, try our webstore, HERE.

I think the choate mounts are $47 from sksman tax in. he did charge 5-10 bucks on shipping but I ordered a bunch of stuff.

another option (arguably better) is the weaver converta mount for shotguns, but it can be mounted on any receiver that you drill and tap. It is a removable 2 piece design, but it will hold zero very well.

I also hear that Dave from hical canada has a lot of accessories in stock and is excellent to deal with

intraammo (sponsor link above) sells reciever mounting rails/mounts and the russian military scopes

Bingo! In my experience receiver cover mounts are full of fail from design concept to their lack of function. Save your money for a gunsmith to mount a proper side rail/mount.

 

[Superbrad]

Yes... proper scope mount as said above by many others.... Cabelas carries the other type and they have TERRIBLE reviews....

 

[Mermaniel]

Or buy a BC tactical scout mount.

 

[ColassalEntry]

Marstar if you want a garbage mount.

B.C. Tactical if you want an awesome one. (would be the only one I'd ever buy.

Cover mounts suck, as mentioned. If you don't want to visit the GunSmith, then this is the best way to go, IMHO, BC Tac's scout mount. Non-permanent yet rock solid. HiCal sells them...

 

[Chupacabra_Hunter]

I can see the overwhelming opinion is against cover mounts. Understandable, I had my reservations too. i definitely would like to get a proper set up, for now I could use a butt-pad and bipod though, those Chinese stocks are a bit too small.

i have the scout mount from bctactical and love it, it takes about a half hour to install if its ur first one, just remember to remove rear mount leaf spring (haha) before u tap in the scout mount with a mallet

Don't remember maybe 60-70$
