No drilling, tapping or major alteration.  Guaranteed to hold zero.  Can be removed and reinstalled easily.  Made in the USA of top grade military allan aircraft aluminum.  Use Weaver type rings (not included).  Requires a long eye relief scope.

Best way for a customer to decide which Carcano they have is to look at their sight and see what its reads. The short Carcano usually will always read 6-15 on their ladder sight.

Carcano 91/28 with Original Short Rear Sight

You first must remove the rear sight. This is done by removing the two screwdriver slotted screws from the right side of the rear sight. If you find they are extremely tight you might have to put some heat on the threaded part of the screws on the left side. After you get the screws out you need to pry the rear sight up as it lifts off a lug that the screw you removed goes thru. If you find lifting the sight up is difficult you should remove the wood from the receiver & barrel, then you can pry the rear sight up much easier.

After you have the rear sight off, the pockets in the bottom of the S&K mount will fit down over the two mounting lugs on the rifle.  Install the two 6-32 x 7/8 socket head cap screws (that the thread diameter has been ground down to .134) into the counter bored holes on the left side of the mount using a 7/64 hex wrench. Screw them in until they are just snug. Install the two 8-32 x ¼ socket set screws into the two rear holes & the two 8-32 x 5/16 socket set screws into the two front holes PART WAY using a 5/64 hex wrench. Use caution not to cross thread these screws as the holes are on an angle & you can cross thread them easily. At the rear, screw one of the 8-32 screws in until it has some resistance & back it out 1 turn. Do the same with the opposite side. Now turn these two screws in equally until they are very lightly tightened. The front of the mount should move from side to side easily. If it does not loosen one of the back two screws some. At the front of the mount find what you believe to be the center of the side-to-side movement. With one hand hold the mount in place & snug the two front 8-32 screws until you feel a slight resistance. Use a collimator to sight the scope in or remove the bolt & bore sight. By loosening one of the two 8-32 front screws & tightening the other one you can get the scope centered for windage. When centered lightly tighten the four 8-32 screws holding onto the short end of the hex wrench. Check to make sure you did not move off center. Do your final windage & elevation adjustments with the turrets on the scope.
