    Putting a scope on a M91-30

    Hi, I have a M91-30 and I'm planning to get a scope put on it. What all stuff do I need to do to it to make it look like this.

    On my gun my bolt is short but it sticks straight out and I've been told it might have to be bent so the bolt can open and clear the scope.
    Thanks

    You will need a PU scope, a U base, rings, the screws and lock screws and pins and a 6mm metric tap. Also, you'll need a skilled welder/machinist to cut and reweld your bolt body into a sniper style bolt. Lastly, you need to midify the stock for the scope mount. To round things out you should also get the leather lens caps.

    Also may need to bring along a file to the range for adjusting the horizontal pad stop. It may (most likely) need to be filed in order to get the horizontal adjustments in the center when the ball screws are sent home. If you are here in states, I'd gladly do the machine work for you, I have a shop with a milling machine, it makes nice straight line holes.-SDH
