Yesterday's Weapons Forums

I picked up a Nagant. Im not rich so i picked up one without a scope mount. I didnt want to drill it so i went for the scout set up . I found on line that the rear sight can be remover easy so i did that and put a hand gun scope onto it. the problem is after a few rounds the dame scope walks forward and pushes my barrel heat shield forward also.<wood>.So question is is there a good base that i can use to hold my scope so it doesnt walk?I beleave i picked the right rifle it has the two holes pluged on the left side of the action.From what i understand this gun was ment to be a sniper but was converted back for lack of?

What the heck kind of mount did you use that will cause the the handguard to go forward? The mount itself cannot go forward if it is pinned/screwed in correctly. Sounds more like you have a scope ring problem than a mount problem. Maybe a pic of your rig can help us to help you.

good point i just used the rings and attached them to the lip under the rear sight. Thats what it said to do.

The sliding handguard issue sounds like an M91 long rifle.

And! Welcome to the madness... err... I mean learned discussions, Daodeg!!

The post for noobs in the camp fire forum applies you you, as well. Happy pizza!! SW

Can you show us a picture of your setup? I'm still having a problem visualizing what you are describing.

That's the same gunny (albeit a little more aged) they're using in the geico commercial

he is THE GUNNY in most of our minds , TV , MOVIE , personal appearances , now commercials - he IS the gunny

They need to start giving an award for military personnel acting in war movies and tv programs and call it the "Ermey" not emee.

i like that -it fits ,

Anyways, one of my scout scope set ups.

Can you use some enry paper or something like that to pot under the mount and clamp it in with it to shim up and hold it tighter????
