Where to get a M44 Scout Rifle Scope Mount

I am looking for a scope mount that attaches to the rear sight holder. Can somebody point me in the right direction so I don't buy trash?
Thanks

Welcome to G&G gulfdiver !!
Go back and read the numerous threads on Scout rifles. There are quite a few, and they should provide you with what you need to know.

Look on e-bay. The cheap mounts actually start out ok but end up trash because people don't read instructions. The basic rule with the aluminum mounts is:

Don't overtighten the screws (these are steel screws in aluminum threads!!!)... and...

On a carbine (M44 or M38)...

REMOVE and DO NOT USE the rearmost elevation screw (the one that toutches the front part of the breech). It is there for mounting on 91/30's (which incidentally have a nice barrel-cut mounting rail hiding under the rear mount assembly, so you really don't need the cheapo rear sight mount). I also cut the mount to fit the length I needed for the scope, so there is no overhang.

I have used the cheapo system for a couple of years, on Camo Natalia, and it works fine. It does require rezeroing occasionally, but nothing major. I kluged together a 7.62 x 54R cartridge based laser bore sight and it's quick and easy.

Try B-Square: Rings & Mounts or Darrell's Scout Mount Forum - Hunting - ParallaxBill's Curio & Relic and Military Surplus Firearms Forums - Message Board - Yuku

The mount that Darrell makes is generally considered to be the toughest, most solid mount available for M\N's.
