How does it mount to the Mosin? Require drilling, or a gun smith?

The mosin would need a scout rail installed. This scope is usually available on Amazon in a package with the rail. The rail installs in the dovetail where the rear sight is mounted. (No drill home install, rear sight removal required) There are also several mosin scout rail optiions available seperately

Roy answered you question, not much more to add other than needing a 3/8' dovetail to 1" weaver rail.

The best mount I have found is one I believe I purchased from ultimate arms gear,it replaces the rear iron sight.easy to install,just use a small punch to remove the side pin and lift out the rear sight and tension spring.

With the scope mounted in an "off set" position, with a side rail, it will work very well. This might need to be done by a gunsmith. (Well, I'm not qualified, anyway.) If mounted straight over the ejection port , which is also the place you load, you won't be able to utilize stripper clips. You may still be able to load them one by one. Either way, I believe a "turned down" bolt is needed with either configuration, or you won't be able to open the bolt to eject your casing and chamber another round. On my mosin I settled for a longer eye relief scope; like about 10-13" eye relief. My scope is mounted on the rear sight base, so it's not over the ejection port and can't interfere with the bolt operation. I love the scope and have 2 of them, now, but I don't think it's a good choice for a mosin, without some modifications. Talk to a local gunsmith about options. Also, you can often find mosin "turned down " / bent handle bolts on line. Hope this helps ( Sorry if it was a bit long).

You need a vise and a nylon or brass punch and hammer to drive the rear sight from the dovetail. After removing the rear sight, minor fitting might be required to install the base in the dovetail. After that, everything is pretty straight forward. If you are not comfortable taking a punch and a hammer to your gun, or do not have a suitable vise you can hold it with without marring the finish, I would recomend taking it to a gunsmith.

The holes are approxamately 1.2 inches apart. Caution on mounting. I had to remove the fore end from my S&W; MP-10 in order to put backing plates for the screws (included with kit) assuring a solid and safe mount. Since mounting I'v put about 300 rounds through the gun and there is no problem.

I am currently using it on a 556. Do not know if it will work with the Mosin. I am just waiting for my mount for my Mosin and going to give it a try.

First off I'd have to say your weakest link is the swivel stud in that soft wood stock. If the stud is securely in the wood stock and we are not talking about wood as soft as balsam wood then you should be okay. Check out this link and look at the guy's modded gun about three-quarters down the blog. http://www.gunandgame.com/forums/mosin-nagant/106320-pics-your-mosin-nagant-mods-what-you-have-where-you-got.html Hope this helps.

It was very simple. I purchased a couple 1 1/4" screws and screwed them in the appointed spot with a power drill. My mount is very secure and has held my gun in very tightly.

A standard Weaver type mount or a Picatinney rail. It clamps on just like those.

Why would you want to put a scope on the mosin nagant, but if you do I would take it to a gun shop, going to need drilling and tapping

I have the UTG Mosin Nagant Tr-Rail Mount on my 9130 and it was easy to install. The problem with the Rock Solid mount is you will have to drill in your gun or hire someone to. The UTG mount you just knockout two pins and put the mount on no drilling so if you want to put your gun back to how you got it you can.

I had my gun smith install both.He has a jig to drill the holes for the rear sight. Drilled and tapped. And the front sight was welded on. Let a pro do it on this one. It will work and look great.Regards.Helmut1*

I don't see how it could due to the stock of the mosin and the rings on it. If you want a rail on your mosin near the barrel end, you will have to fix one on there with very short wood screws.

i don't think it will work on the mosin nagant. it will if you can find the right mount. and the will be very hard to find. if you find one please let me know. lewisacman@verizon.net

I put this on 2 different mosins. One of them is in a archangel stock so it doesn't sit at the same height anyway. The other sits in a modified wood stock with a higher cheek weld made specifically for a "scope-only" setup. So I don't really know how it'd weld on a stock mosin. It does sit higher than the irons obviously but it is lower than the other mounts I've tried. Including the brass stacker which sits very high. If you get this and sight it in but find the cheek weld awkward there are leather butt stock socks that offer variable heights in cheek weld and even sometimes offer round carriers. Most of these are adjustable via velcro strapping or lace tie downs. They're also usually quite attractive and classy in appearance. I'd say get the mount and if it's height is an issue get a universal rifle riser. They're usually no more than $15-20.

No drilling take your rifle to a gun smith to get good answers . Be careful tightening the screws move the bolt back and forward to see if it binds this can happen .If it does loosen the screws till it is free USE LOCK TIGHT . IF you don't the threads in the mount can strip . Make sure the mount sits square on the rifle some times you need to do work on the (((mount ONLY))) to get it to fit right ,

It mounts to the sight and should be a snap. It does rattle, makes noise when shooting. I put a piece of black electrical tape under the lever and that quieted it down. Holds arrows tight and quiet.
