Rusan Pivot Mount for Mauser K98/ M48, LM Rail

• Quick-release pivot design: The pivot system lets the optic be removed and reattached quickly, which is useful when switching sights, transporting the rifle, or accessing the action while keeping a repeatable mounting setup.
• Steel construction: A steel mount body gives the assembly the rigidity and wear resistance needed for long-term use on classic bolt-action rifles, especially where secure lock-up matters more than saving a few grams.
• Made for Mauser K98k and M48 actions: This version is built specifically for rifles with the Mauser K98k and M48 pattern interface, helping ensure proper fit and stable alignment on these traditional platforms.
• LM rail interface: The LM rail top side provides a dedicated connection for compatible optics, giving a clean, low-profile mounting solution without relying on separate scope rings.
• Complete pivot mount with bases: As a complete mount, it includes the base elements needed for the pivot system, simplifying installation for rifles set up for this specific mounting pattern.

About the Rusan Pivot Mounts Series

Rusan Pivot Mounts are built as a traditional swing-off mounting system for hunters and shooters who want a secure optic attachment with the option of fast removal. Within the Rusan lineup, this series covers a wide range of rifle-specific variants and optic interfaces, including versions for 11 mm prisms, Picatinny rails, and proprietary rail standards. That broad compatibility makes the series especially relevant for users working with both modern sporting rifles and older European hunting actions.

The series includes complete mounts with bases as well as versions supplied without bases, depending on the rifle platform and installation requirements. Rusan also offers pivot mounts configured for several scope tube diameters and rail formats, which shows the system’s role as a flexible mounting family rather than a one-size-fits-all solution. A defining characteristic of the range is its steel construction combined with quick-release fixation, giving these mounts the solid feel expected from classic pivot systems while still allowing the optic to be detached when needed. In practice, the series suits shooters who value a low, tidy installation and a rifle-specific fit over generic universal mounts.

About the Rusan Pivot Mount for Mauser K98/ M48, LM Rail

The Rusan Pivot Mount for Mauser K98/ M48, LM Rail is a rifle-specific mounting solution for shooters using a Mauser K98k (Bulb), Mauser M48, or Zastava M48 platform with an optic that uses the LM rail standard. Its main advantage is that it combines the familiar handling of a pivot mount with a rail-based optic interface, giving the rifle a secure and mechanically straightforward connection between action and sight.

The pivot format is especially practical on classic bolt-action rifles because it allows the optic to be removed quickly when required, whether for transport, maintenance, or a change in sighting setup. On rifles built around older Mauser patterns, that can be particularly useful because access, handling, and overall balance often matter as much as the optic itself. The quick-release fixation supports that use case by making removal faster than a fixed mount while preserving the robust character expected from a steel assembly.

Steel construction is an important part of this model’s appeal. It gives the mount the stiffness needed to hold alignment under regular field use and repeated attachment cycles, and it matches the durable, all-metal character of the rifles it is designed for. Because this is a complete mount with bases, it is intended as a dedicated solution rather than a mix-and-match setup. For owners of Mauser K98k and M48 pattern rifles who want an LM rail optic mounted in a traditional, repeatable way, this model offers a clean and purpose-built answer.

About Rusan

Rusan-Mikron is based in Marija Bistrica, Croatia, and the company’s roots in metalworking go back to 1983. Željko Rusan opened a gunsmith shop in 1986, and the business moved into scope-mount production in 1993. That background is important because it explains why Rusan is closely associated with practical firearm mounting solutions rather than general outdoor optics.

Today, the company manufactures scope mounts, scope rings, Picatinny rails, and firearm tuning products, and it is also well known for adapter systems for clip-on sights as well as adapters for night-vision and thermal-imaging devices. Rusan introduced its clip-on sight adapter clamp in 2009, a product type that helped establish the brand among hunters and professional users who need precise, repeatable attachment of optical equipment. Across its catalog, the emphasis remains on mechanical fit, compatibility with specific rifle models, and durable all-metal construction.
