S&K scope mount for the Mas 1936 rifle is a neat concept. It is like the French built the Mas for this mount, it is a no drill/tap, no mar, solid, secure and quickly reversible back to military configuration.
Mount is pinned and two locking set screws impinge in left dovetail

Often read of the Mas 1936 (like most milsurps) shooting high at 100 yards on lowest sight setting. But unlike many other of the milsurps, the 1936 is easily corrected. I did not come up with this solution but found it on the Net.
With the rear sight on lowest setting, push down on the spring loaded aperture, hey, it goes further down. Cut desired shims to size and thickness, insert beneath sight slider to depress the aperture as desired to get dead on for elevation at 100 yards. Some guys use nothing more than paper shims, others use brass or whatever.
