No-drill scope rail

[lonewolf172]

If you want to mount a scope on your ML but you don't want to lower it's value by drilling and tapping the barrel look up Dr. Pearson's great idea.

I’ll try that next weekend because this weekend I’m installing a Navigation system in my Model T.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist. All in good fun.

Welcome back Bob, great to hear your voice again. I hope you have beaten the cancer and will be around for a long time.

Wait wait. A navigation system in a Model T? That's just not right LOL

Next thing you know they'll be putting electric starters in them.

I have a friend and completive B/P shooter who JB Welds a scope base to his new rifles to install a scope to work up a load, after he finds the optimum load for his gun he uses heat to take off the JB weld and proceeds with finishing the gun.

The old TC bases that used the same holes as the factory rear sights, I've threatened to JB Weld one on at the right eye relief for a scout / pistol scope.

And they should immediately after be smitten about the head and shoulders with the six foot long ramrod from Uncle Festus’ over the log .29 caliber flintlock rifle….

Well found out some info on that No-drill rail system. They said I shouldn't put a sight on it heavier then 4oz which rules out 99% of all rifle scopes and red dots. So I either stick with my non-adjustable fabricated rear peep sigh and front blade sight or have a gunsmith drill and tap the barrel on my CVA Bobcat and then attach a picatinny and scope

Go ahead and drill and tap if you want. That Bobcat isn't a rare or valuable rifle so set it up the way you want. If the next owner doesn't want the scope mount you can plug the holes.

I've decided to connect a gunsmith to see when I can take my CVA Bobcat to them and have them drill and tap my barrels. I've also found a Hammers Premium Class Long Eye Relief Revolver Handgun Scout Scope 2-7X32 Black with Weaver rings and just need to get a 13 slot picatinny rail
