181 series mini-14 scope mounts
 

new so don't kill me to bad, looking\ at removing rear peapsight have a metal block sized to fit in it's place. Have a screw fitting on top for piccanny rail. Have the front clip that the (wood) hand hold clips to barrel set with possibley a form of zurt fitting to screw the other end of rail to. Anyone ever do this or attenpt this.

You might want to look at an Amega rail and forward mount a pistol or ler scope. You have to remove the scope to remove the bolt for cleaning if it is mounted over the receiver.

Leupold used to make a scope mount for the early series Mini 14's. I had one on my 180 series.
You will need to get the receiver drilled and tapped for it to mount.
