I recently picked up a sporterized Remington M1917 from a local gun shop. It has been shortened by about 2 inches, and the sights have been completely removed. The ears have been grouned down, and there is a drilled and tapped hole in the center of the receiver, and another one directly about where the bolt closes. I've had a few people tell me it looks like it might be able to take a redfield one piece scope base, but they weren't sure, and i wasn't sure which one would fit it. I took it to a gunsmith and they said they could make a custom mount for it, but i would prefer not to resort to that. I found an S&K "no-drill, no-tap" mount for it online, but i'm not sure if this will work since the ears have been ground off. What does the S&K mount attach to, and will it work with my rifle?
Thanks for any help!
