What is the best way to notch the mounting screw in order to use the locking screws
provided with the mount?

No one seems to know?(47 on the K98 icon

Forum didn't.)

Thanks to any one who can answer this question. AGB-1

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

You almost need to mill a small round cutout in them. Good luck on that.

You can file the clearance notch. You'll have to make up a jig to hold the screw so the head doesn't get buggered from clamping it in a vise. Just be sure to mark the location of the notch with the screw tight in the mount. Do one at a time so they don't get mixed up.
