Bored? This may generate some discussion

Picked up today a Plainfield SN 5206 with an unusual scope arrangement (I think). Have not disassembled yet; am not sure about how to remove scope rear mount. Thought I'd post some pics first and get some input. Please feel free to offer any info or points of view.
The Scope is Weaver K2.5 60-B. The rings look GI and mate really well with the mounting bar.
The mounting bar is Sniperscope bar for the M3 carbine as shown in War Baby II, pages 640 and 641.
Carbine has all late features.
Barrel is unmarked. First muzzle I've seen that is not crowned. Is flat (see pic).
Front sight is RIA on left ear.
SS flip safety.
M Mag release.
Type 5 slide.
The stock will go nicely on my NPM.

not much to discuss..........sorry, just joking , i hcant recall seeing that mount either

Please have the mounting screws dressed,I despise screws that have been buggered by use of the wrong tools.

It looks to me like the rear scope mount might be tapered to fit into the dovetail, and the nut on the left side draws the rear mount into the dovetail and secures it in place. I might not be tapered, the screw does pass all the way thru and the receiver might butt up against the slotted end of the screw.Interesting mount system. The stock looks to be in nice shape.

I sure wish I had that stock! Is it still a high wood?

No, Bill, it is an oval cut modded to low wood.

I can't help you with the scope but my plainfield's number is P 887. Mine is mostly LEGAL M2 parts including the stock cutout. No cartouche on the stock.
