I have one currently under construction and cant wait to have it completed. I have the bolt out having the handle turned down ( not bent ) so as to make it look as if it were from a later model 42B . By doing this I can stay with the lower scope mounts and actually be able to address the scope with my cheek planted firmly on the stock. I have an early Weaver scope that will look right at home on the 96 and allow me to actually see what I am shooting at . I can print 1 1/4 inch groups as it is having to shoot at big 6 inch target dots with iron sights and hope to cut that in half or better with a scope .
