There is a 3/8 in dovetail under the rear sight base. Once it is removed the dovetail can be used with the proper scope rings to securely mount a long eye relief scope.
Of two 91/30s the one made in 1930 is pinned in place and the other (1934) has no pins so I suppose it is soldered on.
Has anyone ever tried to remove a soldered rear sight base? What is the best procedure?
With the barreled action removed from the stock- am I likely to do any damage to the piece with a propane torch? Do I just heat it up and bang it forward with a mallet?
What is the proper thing to do?
