Scoped SKS Range Report
I was surfing the web and saw a SKS 
Scope/Mount Combo Kit for only 
$49.97. The mount is the type that 
replaces the receiver's dust cover. I 
could not resist so I called up and 
ordered, not expecting much because 
of the price.
The Scope Package can be found online at - 
SKS Scope and 
Mount
 
After a week or so I got a package in 
the mail. Like most males, I tried to 
install the mount without reading the 
instructions. How hard could it be? I 
had removed the covers on my SKS 
rifles many times and had also 
successfully reinstalled them.

Collecting and Shooting the SKS 1) After making sure the rifle was unloaded and setting the safety, I started to remove the cover. 2) I removed the cover and set it aside. 3) The mount looks just the like the original cover, plus scope rails. I tried to install it and reinsert the retaining pin and this is where I discovered that the pin would not go in. Again a typical male - I took it off and looked at it. I reinstalled it and got the same results.

Collecting and Shooting the SKS 6) Finally the mount fit snuggly into the rifle. I reinstalled the pin. 7) The scope came with the rings already attached, so I loosened them and then set the scope in the notches in the mount. 8) Tighten down the rings. 9) Tighten down the scope. Figure 11 shows the assembled rifle ready to take to the range and sight in! I do like this rifle project because I did not have to alter the rifle at all.
