Hello everyone,

I am hoping you all could help me solve this problem I am facing.

I bought a commercially converted SMLE a little over a year ago and she has the drill holes for what appears to be a scope mount. I have asked my gunsmith to look at it to see if he can recognize the mount type but he was unable to figure it out.

The last time I went to a gun show in my area, I found an identical SMLE in the same commercial configuration and I had a peak at the left receiver wall. Sure enough, the same type of drill holes were there.

A fellow at the show mentioned that these holes were for older style mounts that are not readily available anymore but possibly through the collector market either in Canadaicon or in the U.S.

I have attached a picture, would someone be able to identify the mounts needed to fit this build and possibly attach a picture so I can see what they look like ? Secondly, does anyone know of anyone or any place selling these mounts ? Finally, are there any scope type restrictions that limit the type of scopes that can be used with these mounts ?

I am also hoping that I can mount the scope rings and scope myself and work with it at the range to narrow down the point of impact.

Thank you all
