  • Unique design allows optics to be easily removed yet quickly reattached to original zero position
  • Two models: Long-rail (Type A) covers ejection port; Short-rail (Type B) allows stripper clips
  • Black mil-spec 8625 hardcoat anodized aluminum alloy (6063-T6) for high strength and light weight
  • Optional plates allow the use of holes from previously installed scope mounts
  • Detailed instructions and mounting template help ensure proper, low effort, installation

Product Description

Note that installation of this mount requires drilling and tapping three holes in the side of the rifle receiver – a template, mounting screws, and detailed instructions are included. ADD TAP+BIT for $10. This SKS mount provides a very stable and accurate assembly not possible with many models including receiver cover designs. The long-rail mount (Type A) extends over ejection port to protect long scopes from spent casings. The short-rail mount (Type B) is suitable for compact scopes and red-dot/reflex/holographic sights and allows use of stripper clips. The optional plates allow the use of holes from previously installed scope mounts. The optional long plate with four holes matches the screw pattern of several other scope mounts on the market. The long plate without holes can be drilled to match holes from other scope mounts such as the Mosin-Nagant sniper style.

Installation was easy enough with patience
Installation was easy enough with patience. You can get the installation instructions off of the manufacturer's website. Looks good. Using a Nikon p-300 scope on a Norinco SKS.I do not recommend trying to mount this yourself without the proper tools and know how. I still managed to mount it a few thousandths high in the rear but it does not cause any issue.Comes with well written instructions. If in doubt, locate a gunsmith.I ordered with the longer plate to make it easier to mount it level. I would look a lot better with the shorter plate IMO, but that was my decision and not the manufacturers. If you're concerned about looks go with the standard plate."IF" you order it with the longer 4 hole mounting plate you only get 3 screws in my experienceTook it out and shot it today, couldn't hit anything after 20 rounds. Forgot to locktite the mounting plate screws. My fault not the manufacturer. Just saying, don't forget to do that. Will update as soon as I get a real range day in without the screw up on my behalf. Either way, seems very sturdy and well built, and the rail worked well as a shell deflector ( no jams out of 90 rounds )Quick mount knobs are easy to tighten and loosen with the use of a house key. Very sturdy when tight.I mounted mine lower than the instructions, this makes it easier to look through your scope, but you lose the ability to use the irons.Scope height is good. Still ordered a buttstock cheek riser for extra comfort purposes, even at the recommended height this sits lower than the dust cover scope mounts in my experience.All in all, I recommend this mount. Seems well built, and I take pride in knowing I'm supporting an American company.(Update): Took the rifle back out yesterday after locktite. Crazy Ivan mount and Nikon scope held Zero All day. Shot 150 rounds of steel case cheap Wolf ammo. Only one failure to eject. I recommend this mount.

I have a norinco sks with a wooden stock. I had to chisel away a little bit of the wood to allow room for the base plate. But over all it was a great project and holds well. The tap that cam with the set did not do a really good job. It had dulled a lot after the first hole. Recommend buying a special tap from an auto store so that it can withstand the hardened metal. I provided before and after pics of the work I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best sks mount out there.

After spending MUCH time researching the mount issue, I settled on this one.

Solid and well made and keeping zero isn't an issue like so many others. Simpler to mount as well.

Simpler, yes, but *somehow* after careful following of directions, multiple measurements. firmly clamped and drilled with good quality brand new drill and tap in the drill press, I got it off by an embarrassing amount. I am utterly perplexed how I managed to screw it up?!?!?!?

I'm going to have to move it forward or back a bit and redo it again...

Still no reflection on the mount itself, Somehow I screwed up!?!??!

Best mount in my opinion.

This is a solid, well built mount. They shipped it out fast, and it arrived fast. It came with the mounting screws, a template to help with the mounting, and instructions. You'll need to have access to tools, like a drill press, punches, and a # 29 tap and drill with tap handel, to do the install properly. If your not familiar with properly using those tools, get help from someone who is. Great mount, everything was well machined, and desined.

this feels very solid and i think its really nice it is one of the only ways to mount a scope to an sks while keeping zero i took a star away because of the 109 dollar price im not saying it isnt worth it but i own the same quality mounts similar to this for cheaper plus if your not a gunsmith your going to have to paymore to get it put on and functional i recommend this product if you can afford it

5.0 out of 5 stars Great mount but you need the proper equipment to install.

Solid metal mount for SKS. This mount is the only way to go unless you can find one of the old Chinese Military mounts. This is more compact than the military mount but fits in a similar fashion. The trick to mounting the bracket to the receiver is to go EXTREMELY SLOW and be careful as you complete each step. A friend has a drill press and associated equipment which is why I did this myself. I have the short rail kit and it allows the use of stripper clips as per the original design. I use them at the range and not when hunting!

28 Feb2020 Update. When I sighted in at the range I was hitting the bullseye within ten rounds. Mount remained solid after another thirty rounds for practice. It is a great mount to use for an SKS.

If you have access to sharp carbide drill bits and a drill press AND you follow their directions to the "T" you should be able to do this your self. I had dull bits (they looked fine) and that caused one of my centers to walk and I had to do some filing to mount the rail so the countersunk screws didn't bind. Overall it took me around 2 hours to complete but again I started off with dull bits and it made it a little harder than it should have been. Great mount for the money. If you aren't shop savy take it to the gunsmith.

3.0 out of 5 stars good quality but not so easy to install
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2017

I bought the short version of this mount so that I could install a scope on my SKS and still be able to load the magazine using stripper clips. It is as advertised, good quality and well designed. I installed it the other day and was successful using the instructions that came with it; They are very good. But I have to say that I don't think this is an easy install and is likely to end up a failure for some people. I have a drill press and was able to clamp the receiver down and get very close on the mounting hole alignment. Yet I still had enough misalignment of these holes that the mount is slightly out of line with the receiver and the screws don't fit into the mount base perfectly when attaching it.To do this right really needs a drilling machine that has a stage that can be indexed properly for good alignment. I would recommend this only for those that have access to the proper machine tools for the job. Or take it to a machinist and let them do the work.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a good mount.
Reviewed in Canada on September 5, 2019

I first bought a pro-mag, and had to toss it (the store, theammosource.com just gave me a hard time about returning it) because it was warped enough that 2 gunsmiths wouldn't put it on. The Ivan is pretty well-made. It's nice because you can remove it from the mounting plate easily for transport, or if you want to go back to iron sights (you can just barely see under it if the iron sight is at 100, but you aren't going to want to shoot like that). I find the 3 screws that hold the mounting plate on aren't countersunk enough on mine and to make the scope mount bind firm to the mounting plate they require a bit of filing, but that's no biggie. Otherwise it's sturdy for holding zero.

You'll want to raise the comb for a cheekweld most likely. Rick Lowe custom leather for me is a nice piece of work, and I had to add some foam under that for my scope.

I’ve tried different mount for my SKSs. This is the product has the best fit and finish so far. BTW, you still can use the iron sight... you still can use stripper clips... mostly you can easily clean the rifle with the scope mounted after shooting corrosive ammo. After all, you never lose zero of your scope. I encourage you to visit Crazy Ivan website for more products. Don’t waste money on finding other scope mount system for your SKSs.
