Help, Trying to remove scope mount from SKS

[Quinc]

Picked up a 1953 Tula SKS tonight and I am trying to inspect the rifle but first need to remove the scope mount. It has 4 alenhead screws on the back of it that I removed, giving it about a half inch of play. but it is still stuck on there. Any ideas?

I'm not familiar with that mount. There should be a pin through the two side holes.

Put one of the side screws back in, use a punch from the opposite side and try to gently tap the pin out.

That was it thank you! If your ever around Oroville Range let me know and you can shoot her.

That's good news Quinc. I've left a few pieces of brass in the pits myself, I might just take you up on the offer someday. Thanks for the offer!
