Scoping a Mosin 9130

[happyfiero]

Have been happy with the ATI mount
I replaced the bolts with hex heads used blue lock tight
ATI is a low mount
about 100 rnds so far, scope came loose , thats a lot of recoil lol
Mount is doing a great job.
the thing in front of receiver is a, hand formed ,flame lick, heat shield.
Say that 10 ten times fast.

The Boyds stock was not made for a bull barrel a little work needed to be
done to it.
I made the heat shield to blend in the stock alterations .

Is that one of the TGI machine gun barrels? Nicely done!

Leapers Airgun/.22 1" Bi-directional Offset Optimum Profile Mount RGPMOFS38-25H4

I use this mount directly on the dovetail. If you have a refurb 91/30 or 91/59, just remove the two pins and knock the rear sight mount off. You can always restore it back to original later. Note this does not work with any other Mosins.

Total cost with NCStar Scope = about $55.

p.s. the finish on this laminated stock is original! A 1942 Izhevsk refurb - my first Mosin!

This is the concept I went with. Search this forum for my easy mosin nagant rear sight removal that doesn't require drilling/tapping your receiver and no gunsmith work whatsoever.

I removed the rear sight retaining pins with a punch (get a $15 set at walmart) and then put the barrel/receiver into a 500 degree oven for about 8-10 minutes. Tap it off and steel wool the solder that's left on the dovetail. Again, read my post on this forum and it goes into painstaking detail about this process.

Basically a $15 punch set that you'll use again, no gunsmith trips, no waiting, and the gratification of doing the work yourself.

Leapers also has a ring/mount combo (check Amazon) that actually has 3 hex screws that attach to the dovetail, which is great with the mosin.

I would urge anyone doing this to try to gently tap off the mount before heating in an oven. I've never seen one that was both pinned and soldered. If it is silver soldered, 500 degrees will not be hot enough to do the trick.

after removing the pins on mine i kept bangin and it would not come off. figured it was soldered so just used a blowtorch and heated up until the solder started dripping then came off easily

OK - here's another person who has seen both pins and solder. I stand corrected.
