Then a Long Eye Relief/Scout Scope must be used and bending the bolt handle is not required. THANX--SNEAKY

The B-Square mount can be found here: http://secure.armorholdings.com/b-square/mauser.html S&K also makes a mount that requires no modifications to the rifle. It can be found at: http://www.scopemounts.com/ I have some experience with B-Square mounts for other firearms, and it's generally "good." While I have no experience with S&K mounts, I read that they enjoy a better reputation than B-Square mounts. A bit more expensive, but apparently worth it. Good luck with your project.

Originally I had mounted it on a rifle that had some noticable side to side play on the sight ladder, which meant that my scope was prone to that same play and my target frequently showed horizontal stringing. I partially solved that problem by simply using the thumb of my left hand, while holding the forend, to push the scope to the right and let it settle back to it's natural position. This helped alot, but didn't wholly cure the issue. Then one day I noticed that one of my other M96's had been heavily "bumped" on the sight base's right rear corner "ear" such that the ladder sort of snapped into place when all the way down. This rifle now wears the scope and horizontal stringing is no longer an issue. I would guess some sort of shimming or possibly a judicious "accidental" bump might help this mounting issue on many rifles.

I would do it again. Their scout mounts work on the K-31, Yugo 24/47, the MN91/30, and something else but, I'm having a senior momet. pm8691

The ideal is a completely unaltered rifle! Perhaps milling the base so that it has wings to engage the sight spring undercuts instead of relying on the setscrew for mounting?!?! Or possibly using an old broken sight spring and bolting that to the underside of the mount block. Still, that is without any doubt the tightest looking mount system I've yet seen for these old rifles, and I'm very glad you shared it with us. THANKS!!!

I love the scout concept but most mounts are too high, making an unnatural shooting posture. By the way, I'm checking out that House of Karlina website. It's awesome. If the truth hurts.....maybe it should. Last Edited By: Ltblue425 01/18/08 04:01 AM. Edited 1 times.

Dutchman I'd love to purchase one of your mounts. I'm just shy of 60 and need all the help I can get when shooting.

I also believe that his mount can be made with hand tools as lng as you ar carefull and take your time...Jim

I would like to thank Dutchman and the excellent details on his mount on the House of Karlina website.It gave me the greatest inspiration toward completing this project. I obtained some weaver bar stock from Brownells and used some hardware left over from a S&K mount. Here are some pics of the finished product. Please note that due to the bar stock being a bit narrow I had to shim the mount to eliminate side play. I range tested it today using swede M41 ball and Privi partizan SPT's and had 3/4 inch groups on average at 50 yards. The scope is a NC star 4x32 and The M38 is 1944 dated. Am looking forward to handloads as this rifle showed great potential when tested with the iron sights. Will post more results as I develop my loads. Mike Last Edited By: matm0702 04/04/08 05:20 PM.

Looks like it sits nice and low like Dutchman's design. http://www.accumounts.com/ I"d like to see one for the M38 as well.
