I know this has been mentioned before but don't know enough yet to determine which base will fit so thought it best to post pics-
  This is the rifle as it sits. Which mount(s) would fit this receiver? Plan to use a simple 3-9 or similar scope of that helps. Thanks, Matt.

Pretty much nothing I'm afraid. Those holes are for the charger bridge which has been removed. Unfortunately its the Charger Bridge that is used as the attachment point for many SMLE aftermarket mounts.

Oh its a horror story. First you have to find one, no easy task as they were never considered "a Part" just "another piece of the receiver". Then you have to somehow match the positions of the attaching rivets, which wasn't "gauged" so they just "went in in the right place". Then you have to find the rivets. Last of all drill & rivet the whole thing together accurately. |
