okay. I am not one to wanna dump a ton of money into a rifle that, 1st. I like as it is and 2nd. which my be of value some day.
I have a Finnish VKT M39 mosin. I would never want to chop one of these up since it is a particularly rare and sought after model. unfortunately, I got this rifle in fantastic condition, but NO stock. I have hunted for the better part of a year for a finnish stock and the ones I have found were all upwards of 500$. yeah right...so since that's not going to happen, and a regular 91/30 won't do the value any good, i'm going to make it enjoyable to shoot
fisrt of all, this thing is actually VERY accurate, they come with a longer tighter barrel than a reg 91/30 and it shows. but I hat the irons and the rear sight is so strange on these, but I do like the bladed front sight. bt regardless, I wanna scope. the rear sight doesn't work the same on the finnish, so brass stacker or any of the rear leaf sights were out of the question, plus I didn't wanna scout scope. so I tapped the receiver against my etter judgement. the mount I got was such a piece of junk(ebay), I should have been a much easier project
firs off measure and figure out where you want it.
then figure out the threads and the corresponding drill bit to go with the tap
