[M1 Super 90 Scope mount]

DJ... don't know who made the cantilever set-up, but I saw it on 2 differeent SBE's... I'll ask my buddy who has one.

 

Stevenb... the one on the link looks better than the one I tried last season... it was junk (trashed my hunt) and scratched the receiver. I may order and try the one on the link you gave before going to a gunsmith.

 

I have a E.R. Shaw custom rifled slug barrel that is sweet, if not for that i wouldn't bother trying to mount a scope. I have my eye on a new SBE for next duck season and would like to dedicate the M1 as my deer gun until my son grows into it for ducks.

 

As for a gunsmith, the material thickness in the area at the top of the receiver seems mighty thin to tap into... especially since it's aluminum and would most likely require a helicoil insert, if they even make one that smal, even if they do you can only use a helicoil effectively once.

 

Thanks for the link.

I tried a saddle mount from and I HATED it... it was junk and ruined my hunt.

 

Question: Can the M1 be successfully modified by a gunsmith to accept scope mounts? With an aluminum receiver I don't see how.

 

Is there a cantilevered rifled slug barrel for the M1.... I've seen them for SBE but not the M1.
