Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA

There are several companies that have made scope mounts that replace the rear sight on various rifles and take a scout type intermediate eye relief scope. No holes in the receiver. I've made several including for my 1881 Swiss Vetterli centerfire conversion. A small red dot like the TR25 is easier to mount than a scope if you don't need magnification.

That is what I did on my AK. You simply drive out the rollpin that keeps the rear blade on and replace it with the mount.
There is a bolt on that goes through where the rollpin used to be and then there are three set screws to level and secure it

it may not be large enough for a scope, but it was definitely large enough for a red dot (and the may make longer ones)
