usmc0332 Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 http://www.lockstock.com/prodinfo.asp?number=WEA48401 I was thinking this might be a cool mount for an M-N and keep the rifle sites. I think the price is nice, but are they a piece of junk? I have other projects I need to work on (parts to get), but I am inflicted with mosinsporteritis lately. I like these strange/fun guns.

BobDole Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Dont know how they work on a mosin but i have one on a stevens 30-30 bolt and one on a ithaca 37 and they work very well. Depending on the gun the scope may be off center of the bore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usmc0332 Posted February 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Which model did you use? #1? Can you use the sites with it? Is it off centered? I thought it might make it easier to operate the safety, than some mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic1 Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 yes its the 1# mount you will need to remove scope to use sights...yes it is centered http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?folder_id=1599379 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkTX Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Sonic, First off very nice looking rifle. I got a 44 all the metal is near perfect but the wood not that great. The open sights are a bit fuzzy and I'm not that crzzy about the cantalever mounts. How did you go about D&T for the mount? Where did you get the stock? It really looks good from what I can seee of it. Who did the bolt and if not you do you mind telling me who and how much. I only paid $50 for it but I started reloading for it and have grown to like it. As it is though with the sights set as low asit goes I'm still 6" high at 100yds. Again nice job.

usmc0332 Posted February 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 I have seen that Richards and Boyds inlet for M-Ns, among others. I can't say where, possibly on here, somewhere I saw an article on altering front sights. They took the site off, drove the site pin out of the site, changed the contour of the site pin to fit higher in the site. They also tapered the point of the pin, then drove it back in and reinstalled it. I have a 91/30 that could use this treatment. I have read that the Mojo Microclick site has a lot of adjustment. They look cool, but seem pricy to me. Here is an article about them. http://www.surplusrifle.com/reviews/mojomicroclick/index.asp There is a guy that sells bent bolts on Ebay. I posted an auction from him in the M-N section yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkTX Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Sonic,what specific parts were needed and how did you go about installing the base. it looks like a solid setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmc0332 Posted February 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Thanks for posting the pics Sonic. The mount looks better than I thought it would. That is a sharp looking rifle. The pics answered a lot of questions for me. A clean workbench generally is one not used much. If everything is put away, it just takes longer to dump out coffee cans looking for stuff. Thanks.

FC Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Yup, the over-the-center mount works fine. Lock, Stock, & Barrel has high shipping prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmc0332 Posted February 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Yup, the over-the-center mount works fine. Lock, Stock, & Barrel has high shipping prices. There always has to be a catch. Low price=high shipping. I have learned to watch for that one playing on Ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
