Thanks.

Back in '07 we bubba'd a Yugo by re-barreling and changing caliber to .22 PPC for coyotes. As you can see in the pic below, we tried a scout type mount, but I just couldn't get used to the red dot sight. Then about a year ago, "James" contacted us and sent the prototype that our Redfield is now mounted on. Them poor dogs ain't got a chance once I get zeroed in on them.

It has a flaw where an accidental cut was made, just to the right of the cartridge, but it has been extremely stable even with it riding in my truck every day. And it's just raw aluminum, with no anodizing done. Finished product does have matte black anodized finish so we expect them to hold zero until a tank rolls over it.

I'd have to defer to him on the software/programming, but he's a member here and I'll see if he wants to chime in.

We have tentative plans, but it sounds like you might have a recommendation. (?)  :lol: 8)

Why are the mounting holes slotted?

Simply takes away any need to "shim" the mount, rings or scope. And some barrels are not perfectly parallel with the receiver. So you can place your scope/red dot on the mount, bore sight for elevation as you tighten the screws, and that can leave you almost "all" of the scopes ability to fine tune on the bench. The slots could be slightly longer than necessary, and design change could be made, but we've yet to see one move up or down just because of the slot.

Still have to use a considerable amount of the scopes left/right movement range oftentimes, but it never seems to be past a scopes ability.

Never expected manufacturers or Armory refurbs had serious concerns about the receiver and barrel aligning perfectly for sighting, as both sights are on the barrel. Seems to vary by country of origin also, and this mount is meant to "fit 'em all."

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TO ALL!!!!

 Finally, a nice solid fixed mount hits the market! Just 1 suggestion, just slot the rear holes. that will save an extra step on the miller. The SKS is starved for quality accessories. Great work Ben!  8)

Not really cause this mount pretty much cover it.

The only idea I had was Left side only mount with 3 mounting
legs and adding about 6 more picatinney blocks to make it longer.
The picatinney rail itself would start from just after the slot for
stripper clips and end at the back of the receiver cover.

I can e-mail you a 3D model of it if you'd like?

Also you could always offer an un-slotted version that people can drill
and tap themselves.

Ben,

When will this be available on your website? This seems to be the best scope mount solution for the SKS. I want to make my 1951 Russian into an all-around Home Protection/Pig Hunting/SHTF/Zombie Apocalypse carbine. I live in the People's Republic of Kalifornia, so my little beauty has to be Ultra 922r compliant. When I have the cash, I'll be ordering just about everything you make for the SKS (Hammer/Sear/Trigger set, & your "Drop-In" Firing Pin Kit and Bolt Carrier Modification) I already have the ATI Monte Carlo stock (on my way to 922r) although I may change to a Timbersmith Monte Carlo stock (No Thumbhole: Kalifornia!). I don't think I want a MOLOT or Choate mount, nor do I want a Scout Mount. Definitely want it to put some pork on the table and protect my family. I can't afford to get a fancy hunting rifle (although I will be "fixing-up" my Finnish M39 Mosin to hunt a little bigger game), and a Gunsite Scout rifle is out of my budget as well. I'm gonna "run-what-I-brung" with a few upgrades. Get it ready for next season, along with learning how to hunt! :lol:

Sorry... my wife says I tend to babble. Thanks in advance from an SKS "Newbie" (Sort of; I've had the SKS for 20 years!)

Thanks again!

antfan, first, welcome to the Boards! You'll enjoy yourself here.

The mount is listed on our shopping cart already, just don't have a "page" for it yet.

SM, I'd probably be a little hesitant to make it mount on one side only as that takes away the major strength of the part. Not to say it couldn't be done, and your model would be interesting to look at, but we'll just have to see.

Good thought, xtriggerman. May try to incorporate that later.

That is a sweet looking mount.  Congratulations!

I'm catching this thread late.  Do you still have any of these mounts to sell?  I'd have it drilled and tapped at a local gunsmith.

Welcome aboard Beater! But please take the time to post an Intro in the New Members Introduction Forum. Bunch of nice folks here, but a few may rag on you for not posting an intro first.

The stock came with the gun and is part of what was imported many years ago here in the U.S. None available nowadays, to the best of my knowledge.
