No, it was just one. I am not personally sure that the rifle can be
easily fitted with optic sight. It has a round receiver.

Easy for a qualified gunsmith, or even a decent machinist. Scope mount
milled to match the receiver's radius, a few screw holes drilled and
tapped.

Piece of cake for our newest CNCer, eh? Which one of youse guys is
going to go hold his hand while he gets out the tiny, broken tap?

I added a scope to my other Mosin Nagant (Finnish M39). At the time I
had no other tools, besides an electric drill. It worked out pretty
well. I am not going to modify this rifle for the sake of adding a
scope, I think that it would be somewhat insulting to the rifle.

Ah, so it's a collector ya have there, me lad? Foine, foine.


I still do not think that adding a scope mount to a round receiver
would work as well, though.

Well enough to work, not as well as a square, or what?
