BillyDixon Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 ive seen this done years ago,,, guy made up an extrs top cover plate,, the part that dovetail into the bolt lock up,, new adapter was thicker to accomadate a screwed on picky rail, then could use any scope rings,, please in no way ever think about drill and tap any holes on the reciever,,just sayn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmagee1917 Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Yep , mount on a spare cover so you can return it to original . Your pocketbook or your heirs will thank you at selling time .Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPinFL Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 This sounds like a great idea to me. If there are any board members capable of making the thicker top plate, I'll take 2. How bout it Deerslayer?Would like to put one on my R75 SA clone franken-gun!Thanks for this great Board! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimike Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) I wonder if you could just get one from OOW? They have a picatinny mount for the HCAR. Edited April 9, 2021 by minimike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerslayer Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 How about a mount that goes in the side and attached through the two trigger grip pins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmagee1917 Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 That would prob'ly mark up the receiver .Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
