My good friend from the other side of the state of Pennsylvania, Tom (Foodwannabe) got my small Italian/German brain on a drum roll with his recent post on his friend, his chocolate lab.....anyway, like Tom, I had this Parsons scope mount for a year or so and didn't do much but look at it when I was bored...(no drill...no tap

This mount is designed for a '94 carbine and beings that the 94 and 92 are pretty much close I gave it a shot. The 53 has a dovetail closer to the receiver than a regular full length 1892. Had to do a minor alternation with the drill press but I'm sure anyone with a small to mediocre amount of common sense can do the same thing with a file. Who knows, maybe the guys who make this thing have already done the work for guys like me, the peons of America.
Anyway, I stuck this 2.5X Leupold Scout scope I had laying around on it as you need the extended eye relief for cartridge ejection and took the whole works out to a place behind the barn today and gave it it workout with mild loads....loud loads gets the cops here mighty quick. This baby works just fine and it looks like I'm gonna order me a few more for various 1894's and other 1892's that adorn the gun room.
Scopes will keep me shootin these old leverguns without damaging the value. So maybe, it all that bad getting old.
