Rusan Pivot Mount without Bases for Mauser M96, 25.4 mm

• Pivot quick-release design: the mount lets the riflescope be removed and reattached in a repeatable way, which is useful when switching between optics or transporting the rifle more compactly.
• 25.4 mm (1 inch) ring size: built for traditional 1 inch scope tubes, this format suits many classic hunting scopes and keeps an older rifle-and-optic combination practical.
• Without bases configuration: this upper assembly is intended for rifles that already use compatible pivot bases, making it a sensible replacement or upgrade without changing the base interface on the rifle.
• Steel construction: steel gives the mount the rigidity and wear resistance needed at the locking points, helping the system stay secure through repeated mounting cycles.
• Mauser M96 compatibility: made for the Mauser M96 platform with matching pivot bases, the mount provides a model-specific fit instead of a generic one-size solution.

About the Rusan Pivot Mounts Series

Rusan Pivot Mounts are built as a dedicated family of firearm optics mounts for shooters who want a secure mechanical interface with the convenience of a quick-release pivot system. Within the Rusan lineup, this series covers several rifle mounting interfaces and optic attachment formats, including versions for 11 mm prisms, Picatinny rails, and traditional scope-ring configurations. The range also includes both complete mounts with bases and upper parts sold without bases, which makes the system flexible for new builds as well as replacements.

A defining characteristic of the series is its steel construction, chosen for strength at the bearing and locking surfaces where repeatable attachment matters most. Rusan also offers these pivot mounts in multiple ring diameters, including 26 (25.4), 30, 34, 36, and 40 mm, so the system can be matched to both classic hunting scopes and larger modern optics. Across the series, the design focuses on rifle-specific fit, straightforward handling, and dependable return-to-position behavior, which is why these mounts suit traditional hunting rifles and other firearms where a removable scope remains a practical advantage.

About the Rusan Pivot Mount without Bases for Mauser M96, 25.4 mm

The Rusan Pivot Mount without Bases for Mauser M96, 25.4 mm is a model-specific upper mount assembly for shooters who already have compatible pivot bases installed on a Mauser M96. Because it is supplied without bases, it is especially useful as a replacement upper, a second mount for another riflescope, or a way to keep an existing base setup while changing the optic above it. That makes sense on classic rifles where preserving the established mounting interface is often preferable to starting over.

The 25.4 mm (1 inch) ring diameter is well suited to many traditional hunting scopes, so this mount pairs naturally with optics commonly chosen for older sporting rifles. In practical use, the pivot format allows the scope to be detached and reattached more conveniently than a fixed ring-and-base arrangement, which can help when moving between optics, packing the rifle, or servicing the firearm. The benefit is not just speed, but also a more orderly and rifle-specific attachment method.

Rusan builds this type of mount in steel, a material that supports long-term durability at the hinge and locking points where repeated use places the most stress. Finished in black, the mount keeps a restrained appearance that suits both blued and modern rifle setups. For a Mauser M96 already equipped with compatible Rusan or EAW pivot bases, this mount provides a focused, mechanically robust way to carry a 1 inch riflescope.

About Rusan

Rusan-Mikron is a Croatian manufacturer based in Marija Bistrica, with roots in the Rusan family’s metalworking business that date to 1983. Željko Rusan opened a gunsmith shop in 1986, and the company began producing scope mounts in 1993. This background in machining and gunsmithing is directly relevant to products such as pivot mounts, rings, and rails, where fit and mechanical consistency matter as much as raw strength.

Today, Rusan manufactures scope mounts, scope rings, Picatinny rails, and firearm tuning products, and it is also well known for adapter systems for night-vision and thermal-imaging devices. The company introduced its clip-on sight adapter clamp in 2009, which helped establish its reputation for practical mounting solutions across both conventional optics and electro-optics. That same emphasis on precise metalwork carries into its rifle-specific hunting optics mounts.
