Who was it on here that made that strap-mount for the MN?? I am getting close to being able to set aside the money for a scope and what-not and was wonderin who made that mount as that will be the one I will be wanting.

Saw the pics on Ebay... Hard to understand without seeing the barreled action with it out of the stock.
How sturdy is this thing? I like it... I think I need it... I just want to make sure it's going to hold up and hold zero. (no offense jmeck, I just don't understand how exactly it works...)
How does it work? OK, here is the skinny. It uses a 1 inch wide .025 inch
thick steel strap. It works in principle like a "band clamp". The strap has aprox. the strength of a 5/16 inch bolt,way more than necessary to hold a scope on a Mosin. The strap forms to the receiver when tightened, locking the mount in place. The bottoms of all Mosin receivers are flat and since the strap is steel it won't move. Is it strong? Yes,anything that could move the mount will likely destroy your scope or damage your rifle.Heres a couple of pics which should give you a better understanding of how it works. Thanks for the interest guys.

I am getting my "scout scope" mount from a guy on one of the other boards named Darrell, it has gotten some very good reviews from people who have used them. Plus, I don't need to invest in a bent bolt assembly which is nice as well. I will post a range report as soon as I get it and my long eye relief scope mounted.
