The scope rings have crosshead screws.
The mount is complete with two steel mounting pads and five screws.
The threads match up to the originals.
If not currently fitted, then gunsmith work would be required if you need the fix the mounting pads.
Please Note: these were a special order, we do not have any fitting instructions for them.
Only a small percentage of the the Lee Enfield No.4's rifles were adapted to accept the scope mount.
If not already fitted with the fitting plates, the receiver housing would need drilling to attach them.
CUSTOMER SUPPLIED INFORMATION:.
Well after some perseverance I think I finally got the number 32 scope mount to fit.
The original scope measurements are in UNF as they should be, however, the replacement mounts are metric as were the screws.
The back pad had to have spacers made (used brass shims) and fitted to enable the scope to be true to the rifle barrel (bearing in mind this was being fitted to a No4 Lee Enfield Rifle that the kit was for).
The screws were not the best and had to be replaced. At the moment all seems to be good but I have yet to bore sight and zero the rifle.
The scope mount appears to be sound.
Points to note:
Both mounts should be sweated in place as well as screwed.
The receiver and pads should be thoroughly cleaned/degreased and then tinned, then they’re screwed up tight whilst the metal is gently heated and the solder remains fluid.
We used to stake the screw heads as well.
If this is not done, the mounts WILL come loose under recoil.
It is a heavy ‘scope & mount.
The rear pad locates the sight bracket on its dovetail surfaces but there is no screw thread in the pad itself.
The pad has a counterbore for the rear screw to pass through.
The receiver is drilled and tapped to receive the rear mounting.
With regards to the "sweating and tinning" I went for a modern "Flash Hider" Loctite which the military currently use, it was the rear pad that required the adjustment with two brass shims to move it out a little to get the scope in line with the barrel.
Fixing plates included, and would need Gunsmithing if not already fitted:
