BARSKA AF10930 SKS Mount - Manual

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Please read these instructions before
installing your scope mount.
The riflescope mount for your BARSKA riflescope is designed to be slightly
oversize in order to fit the a wide range of riflescopes. Depending on
manufacturing tolerances, it may be necessary to slightly modify it in order
for it to fit as tight as possible.
If the scope mount doesn't fit into your SKS receiver and the takedown lever
cannot be re-inserted throught the receiver,some minor filing will be required.
This filing should only be done on the scope mount. Modifications to your
SKS are not necessary using this procedure. This procedure should only take
a few minutes.
1. DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF FILING NECESSARY
To determine how much filing is necessary, hold the scope mount firmly against
the receiver as far as it will go. Tap the scope mount with a rubber mallet (See
Fig. 1). The exact points on the two
angled "points" where the metal requires
removal will appear bright from being
tapped against the receiver.
2. FILING THE MOUNT
Carefully remove a very small amount
of metal from the mount using a small
hand file (See Fig 2). Be sure to
maintain the exact angle of the "points"
when removing metal. Attempt to install
the mount. If there is still inadequate
clearance, repeat this procedure until
there is just enough clearance to
"wedge" the mount into the receiver.
NOTE: Only a tiny amount of metal
needs to be removed for most SKS
rifles. Removing too much material will
result in a loose fit and too much "play".
