madsenshooter, how does the rail attach to the rifle ? Do you have to modify the rifle in any way ? Zgun

No mods needed.  10 screws hold a steel saddle clamp on the barrel underside, forward of the chamber area.  The clamp must be tapered because the screwholes are drilled in such a way it will only line up if put in a certain way.  There are 4 allen head set screws on top of the mount that push on a little bar of softer aluminum that is inlet into the handguard above the barrel.  That bears against the barrel, above where the steel clamp is.   The handguard bears against the stock ferrule, which of course is pinned.  One could make a solid pin, but I don't think the mount likely to go anywhere, as is.  The handguard, once tensioned, also bears on a couple flats above the chamber area on a standard Garand barrel. Several companies make similar mounts.  I've had this one for years.  Rule changes make this the first year scopes will be allowed in CMP Unlimited Garand.  I got a lot of Xs out of this rifle & load when I could still see irons.  It should be interesting and fun!
