Just pondering again.
I have noted several places in the past where folks have talked about "scout scoping" a Mosin Nagant by removing the rear sight altogether and clamping 3/8 inch scope mounts directly to the barrel via the mounting slots for the issue front sights.
Has anyone here actually done this? How well did it work? Did you use a purpose built Rifle LER scope or a pistol scope?
Does the M44 and M38 type of M-N rifle have the same 3/8 inch groove under their shorter sight bases and can that trick work on them?
Not thinking of Bubba-ing a "good" -91 or -44 or -38 but thinking of at least making a pre-Bubba-ed Mosin shoot worthy.
