About 2 years ago, I ventured away from my Mosin buying and purchased a Yugo M48A. It was $99 and one of those impulse buying things, but when I got her cleaned up it turned out she had all matching numbers and a really nice piece of dark wood to boot. I found out pretty quickly that even with the mauser sights that I hate, and surplus ammo, I could do 2MOA all day long. I should have been happy with that, but I started thinking and, as usual when I start thinking, things went wrong. I started wondering what kind of shooting I could do with better sights, or better yet, with a scope. Then I found a B-Square mount on Ebay with a 4X scope attached for $60. Seemed like a good idea at the time. And maybe at first it was. 1.5 inches was the norm and from time to time I would get a batch of good surplus ammo and I was so close to 1MOA I could taste it. But everytime I looked at her something wasn't right. It was like having a really great girlfriend, the kind that is kind, beautiful, smart, loves your mother, and is a little frisky, but she has a conjoined dead fetus on her shoulder. No matter what you do, there's that dead fetus looking you in the face. So this morning I got out the tool kit and removed the dead...I mean, the scope mount, and set things right again. I can be happy with 2 inch groups. Hey, I just may get used to the mauser sights some day. But either way, she sure looks better now.
