I just took the rear sight off to expose the 3/8" groves. Also, removed the front sight because it was all bent. Bought a decent, cheap scope and scope rings. Everything will be here Friday. Will probably shoot this weekend if it isn’t too cold!
Went to VT this weekend and I ALMOST picked up a Hex receiver Mosin Nagant from a gun store there. Much nicer than my 40’s round receiver.
