In the picture thread, on pgs. 6 and 7, there were pictures of SKSs with scope mounts that attached directly to the receiver on the left side, below the receiver cover. can be seen here:
I was wondering where to get one of these, how to attach it, and if they work well. |

I really didn't like having a scope on my SKS. It really didn't improve accuracy over the irons at the intended ranges of the 7.62x39 round. I went with a Williams peep insert installed on the rear sight block until these came out: LINK  I usually don't buy things as soon as I see them, but this, I could readily see, was an outstanding idea and purchased one immediately. It is one hell of a product!!! |
To echo wildearp, I really didn't want a scope, either. So I, too, installed a Tech Sights TS200. Be aware that on some SKS this will require a small amount of wood removal from the stock: Some installation guidance is given here. |
What is this cleaning you speak of?

Some options.... www.gunaccessories.com/MilitaryScopeMounts/SKS/index.asp |
and does it allow for the use of stripper clips? I removed the one that came with my latest acquisition to replace it with the original receiver cover because, if it was back far enough to load with stripper clips, the eye relief was too close and it would actually bang me in the head with recoil  |
