Use loc-tight on everything, if they still use plastic washers, replace with metal from the get go. I found out they go from loose to looser when they get cold. You can't remove the bolt without taking off the top 1/2 which will have to be loc-tightened. People have suggested using teflon tape on the coarse theaded bolts which hold the 1/2's together, but I haven't tried it yet. If not snug, the rail moves up and down and the bolts quickly get loose. I also have to crank on them with a channel lock. The Weaver rail can go on two ways. The most secure arrangement works best with a compact scope. I recently put on a regular scope and had to reverse the rail to get proper eye relief. I find the rail poking out so far forward looks and feels kind of flimsy, but it does work. The wippy recoil of my #5 likes to break cheap scopes, a #4 will probably work better. ONLY TWO screws hold the mount (bottom 1/2) to the receiver! Use loc-tight or they will get loose! This part can stay on without interfering with cleaning. As my only no-smith receiver mount, I'd give it a "C" Hope that helps, Tony

Posts: 115 (12/01/09 11:47 AM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Hi it was easy to install, knock up the little pin that holds the long pin, with your hand over the rear sight to catch all the parts push the long pin out and put the rear sight and plunger and spring into a baggie to save. Put the scope mount in place and slide the long pin into place and place the little pin into it and your done..................NOTE: this from two years ago so guys if I am missing something let us know, thanks..... P.S.: This is a photo from the web, poster not known, my cell photos are crap or I would take one of my own set up. Burgie Last Edited By: BurgieC 12/01/09 12:04 PM. Edited 1 times.

Posts: 116 (12/01/09 06:54 PM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Thanks Ed, I forgot the little block with a drilled and tapped hole that a screw fits down into from the top of the scope mount to hold it in place. You can see the hole in the photo from my first post. 66 years old and sometimes have crs! burgie

I found that I couldn't get enough adjustment from the scope when trying to zero, so I put the scope optics back to the centre position, and then used shims of different thicknesses until I found one that brought the vertical p.o.i. as close to zero as I could, and then used the scope optics for the fine adjustment. An alternative is to use epoxy to build up the small area on the underside of the mount where it contacts the bridge, and then take it down a bit at a time until you can come quite close to your desired p.o.i. at the range you want, and then use the scope optics to final zero. These methods leave you a LOT of room to adjust elevation from that point. After you have the scope mounted, before shimming, start CLOSE to your first target, or use a big target. I found at 25 yd. before shimming, the first round was almost 30" low, and the first shim put me almost 30" high. After that it was easy to measure the thickness, go half that, and "Bob's your uncle!" Works well and holds its zero. Peter

The rings are Leuopold QRW (low) and the scope is a Weaver Classic V 1-3 X 28mm Not as svelte as a real No4 T. The hardest part was rasping the cheek piece to fit the stock.

If you have the simple combat sight as on moose fat's rifle you can remove the bolt without having to take the scope off. My rifle has the older target style sight so I have to remove mine. I took a Dremel with a thin cutting wheel and put marks on the 2 sides and bottom of the 2 pieces and filled them with a white lacquered marker. Now when I remove the top half and replace it I have index marks to line it up by.
