Local Dudes Mosin Nagant scope mount design

[Joe_K]

Working at a gun range gives me the opportunity to see some awesome, and awful firearms. Sometimes the guns are great but the selection in accessories isnt upto par. Like the guy that blew all his cash on a $2000 rifle but slapped a $15 Ncstar Amazon.com special on his sweet gat peice, but I digress. I ran across this Mosin Nagant setup at the range and asked where the owner had got it from since I thought it looked pretty sweet well turns out said owner was also the designer. He gave me a few business cards and told me he had some youtube vids of this design so without further ado.

Looks to be a well thought out unit.I like it a whole lot better than some of the scout mount designs.
Mosins are still cheap enough to make it worth it.Now I wouldn't go drilling and tapping on some of my collector pieces ,but the run of the mill ones that came in recently it would make them great shooters!!
Hats off to the local guys thinking of this stuff!

So I just got the Trueshot see through Mosin mounted on my 91/30 project First impressions.
Im impressed with the simplicity of installation if you can drill and tap and have the mechanical apptitude of a squirrel you could do this yourself in your garage with some basic tools. If not your local gunsmith is just going to make some easy money off of you
I have yet to fire a shot with my setup as I am awaiting funds to purchase a bent bolt, decent optic, and an Archangel stock. Having fired the designers rifle with this mount I have no doubt it will hold up to heavy use and abuse. While I think this mount could use some improvements the essential design is good.

Highlights:

Easy installation.
Light weight durable construction using 6061 aluminum
Allows for irons and optics
Uses the same size threads and hole patterns as the RSI and ATI mounts.

Areas that could use improvement:

More durable coating such as anodizing or ceracote.

True Milspec Picatinny rail without the shallow groove diwn the center.

All in all this so far seems like a good option for folks that want to retain irons and dont mind drilling and tapping the receiver.

Pictures, videos, and updates to follow. Stay tuned!
