How to Fit a Scope Railed Receiver Cover to an SKS Rifle

Receiver covers with rail-style mounts allow you to easily attach a scope to your SKS rifle. Railed receiver covers are available with a single rail or with a tri-rail system that gives you the option of adding accessories (such as a laser or flashlight) along with your scope. The replacement covers are made to the same specifications as the original. Installation of your new receiver cover is simply a matter of removing the old receiver and replacing it with the new one.
