perhaps this belongs in the gunsmithing forum but I'll try here. Saw this diamond in the rough today at a fun show. Can anyone explain the theory behind this interesting mod? Does welding the cover to the receiver provide a better lock up? I resisted the urge to give the purveior the $400 he was asking on the spot but may run back tomorrow and pick it up if the hive mind feels this is a one of a kind. Please excuse the lousy Iphone pic, I was trying to be covert so as to not draw attention to this jewel.  |

It was hardly used. There are deals out there.|
Quoted:
The scope was probably attached to the dustcover before the welds. Remove cover get POI shift. Weld cover in place.... profit? +1 ^ I'm thinking it was welded to prevent the scope from shifting. ETA: I see it has a side plate scope mount, In any case my best guess is that the scope used to be mounted to the dust cover. |

You shouldn't have used an Iphone to take the pic if you wanted the location to be secret. You do know that the exact location you took the pic is stored in your pic, don't you?
