Nuprol N79 Short (M79 Pirate gun)

[Bourne4red]

Hi,

 

can anyone offer any advice on how to mount a reflex scope on to the M79?

The main question is why? then your next question is where do you want to put it? then your final question is how permanent you want this to be? simplest get a short section of RIS and cable tie it to the barrel somewhere after the break. next option glue the RIS or the Scope to the barrel this will wreck the paint and fall off at some point. permanent option is to drill and tap the barrel and with lots of Loctite screw on a RIS. you now have two holes in your barrel.  expansive way 1 build an over size pistol scope rail mount (some thing like in the picture) and use the hand guard screw hole to mount it. other expensive option would be to remove the front sight and have a site mount machined to fit the sight mounts on the barrel. last to options could be machined or much cheaper 3d printed but cheap is a relative term as the pieces need to be designed as well.

Thanks for your extensive response, I’ve attached some examples from DEVGRU and the King Arms version. As you can see the mount is above the break lock, however the Nuprol version doesn’t seem to support the mount (unless glued or drilled, neither of which are preferable).

Any other ideas?

 the Nuprol version is the king arms . Nuprol just rebrand other manufactures. I forgot about the breach action on the barrel that is a neat solution. basically unless you are willing to start drilling holes in the thing your options are cable ties or one off expensive mounts. what amount of money/effort are you willing to put into what is nothing but a cosmetic attachment?

The CYMA version is dirt cheap and has integral rails.   

 

Just another option.

do you mean this https://3dmixers.com/m/232416-bootleg-m79-a-cyma-grenade-launcher-conversion-kit as CYMA don't make an M79

More or less @BigStew.   I should have said that CYMA do a railed 40mm launcher that is so close to a cut down M79 that you could get it close enough to the rif pictured.  

 

I have one for Nam games and it's 10 yard rule OK.   

 

If the OP is willing to put the work in,  it may be an option at the price.   

 

Thanks for the link mind!  👍

I think a claw grip rail (like on my G3-SG1) may suffice.
