Putting a scope on a M91-30

**EvilAquaSnipe** · 12-12-2006 04:33 PM

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

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

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
