The SKS rear-housing mount that is included with this product does not work, not even close. Even after the required filing of the front edge of the rear housing, (gunsmithing was not listed as needed in the description), the takedown latch does not line up with the hole, and even worse, the bolt carrier will not slide into the rear housing, not by a long shot. Don't waste your money.

QUALITY CONTROL: Not
After reading many reviews of Barska 4x32 Compact Contour Scope/W receiver cap mount I surmised that many problems, as described, might be the result of poor skills on part of buyers.
I was, therefore, very careful to get a perfect fit, on a Norinco SKS. All well and good until I set up for preliminary bore sighting.
Scope pointed 5" left of iron sights at 30'.
PROBLEM: Forward threaded hole in mount drilled off center line by about the diameter of the hole, too much for correction by drilling, etc. Once known, the flaw is readily visible.
Returned for replacement, thinking this must be a rare error.
Replacement came with the same problem obvious. Returned for refund.
I have not seen any reviews describing this particular problem, and my guess is that with random good luck, on another batch, it might be ok. (maybe) I don't feel that lucky.
No problems with Amazon.

Not worth considering,

I bought this scope hoping to improve accuracy. This scope will not hold a good zero. As you adjust windage and elevation it is hard to get a good group! I am sad to say I wasted my money!
