This mount uses tension on a steel band to hold the mounting block against the receiver. The mount is totally drill/tap free. The steel band passes between receiver and stock, and sits tight against the recoil lug to keep everything solid. Over 100 rounds and counting and the mount is solid as a rock. The close-ups make it look rusty and it is...homebrew rust bluing job. Please feel free to ask any questions, I will do my best to answer them all. Up front, no, these are not for sale. I have over a week invested getting everything just right. This is a custom fit mount and I could not duplicate it for a price that anyone would pay. Sorry about that.
BTW, that flash really brings out the dust huh?!

So, in other words you are asking $25 and can have them ready to ship in a week? Not a bad idea, there was something like this made for the No1 MKIII Enfield years ago, or at least I recall it using a band around the receiver to hold part of it in place. I took it off one of the rifles I got years ago, but have no idea what I did with it.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Thanks for the post websterz. I think I can come up with something like that. What did you use for the band?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I used a piece of steel banding material I salvaged from the lumber yard. It is as handy as duct tape for a machinist!! Lemme' know if I can be of further help.

Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

Thats awesome! Your lucky you have the skills to make them yourself. I'll probably end up having to buy one of the jmeck mounts

Looking at the price of the after market mount, a scope, a bent bolt, a spare stock and a decent rifle I would be well over half way to a R-guns sniper. I am, however, going to get one of the Darrells mounts for my M-38 when he gets them in again unless one of you talk me out of it.
