The reason that picture wasn’t posted on this thread is because it didn’t exist when the thread was posted.
I took more detailed pictures the last couple of days whilst I’ve been sending them off to people much more knowledgeable than myself on these rifles for them to have a look.
Yes those screws are worn, the mount needed a shim fitting for use with the replica mount, so they’ve been in and out.... new screws are easy enough to find.
The big blob of stuff is paint. It’s been repainted in areas at some point.
