Finding a gen 1 Saiga 410 factory scope and mount

[wildonewest 1]

When saiga's first came out in 94 I bought a 410 and it came with a simple scope. I have sold the shotgun and the scope years ago. My question is where can I find that scope again. I think it was a fixed 3.5 power that was fixed to the removable side mount type rail. The 410's sold today do not come with that scope anymore at least the research I've found. Any help finding that stock scope would be appreciated.

Looking at your Nagant scope the retical looks to be the same but thats the only thing that comes close.

The mount looks like this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/271248367360?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648

Yea I have the AK mount you posted a link too and that scope will fit in it so that must of been what you had. I never knew that the firsy 410's came with a scope

It was a option to order the scope/mount with the Saiga 410 so I ordered it extra and when the 410 arrived it was shipped with two scopes/mounts. Like I said, the reticle is the same but that was it. The scope was new and not from WWII and it was shorter, not as long. The scope did not come with lens caps and if I remember correctly the scope rings and scope tube was one piece and bolted directly to the mount. I sold the 410 about 5 years later along with one of the scope/mount. I kept the other one until I sold it at a gun show back around 2007. Now I wish I hadn't sold it.

I have 4 AK's and non of them have side rails until now. I just ordered a CAI Zastava O-PAP that has a side rail and I think that the scope/mount that came with the Saiga would be a perfect setup, at least I think so.
