Rusan Pivot Mount without Bases for Mauser M96, LM Rail

• Pivot mounting system: The pivot design lets the optic return to the rifle in a consistent position after removal, which is useful for hunters who need quick access to open sights or easier transport without giving up repeatable alignment.
• LM rail interface: This version is made for optics with an LM Rail, giving a secure, low-profile connection without separate scope rings and helping keep the setup neat and mechanically stable.
• Without bases: Supplied as a pivot mount without bases, it is intended for rifles already fitted with compatible pivot bases, making it a practical choice when replacing only the upper mount section.
• Quick-release fixation: The quick-release arrangement allows fast removal and refitting in the field, which is helpful when switching optics, packing the rifle, or cleaning the action more easily.
• Steel construction: Built from steel, the mount is designed for long service life and dependable rigidity, supporting stable optic positioning under regular hunting use.

About the Rusan Pivot Mounts Series

Rusan Pivot Mounts are part of the company’s dedicated range of firearm optics mounts, developed for shooters who want a traditional pivot system with the convenience of modern optic interfaces. The series includes both complete mounts with bases and pivot mounts sold without bases, which makes it easier to match the mount to an existing rifle setup instead of replacing the whole system. Across the range, Rusan offers versions for specific rifle makes and models, as well as different optic attachment standards such as 11 mm prisms and LM rails.

The series is built around a practical design philosophy: solid mechanical engagement, repeatable attachment, and straightforward handling in the field. Rusan also lists steel construction and quick-release fixation for its pivot mounts, underlining their role as working hunting mounts rather than purely bench-oriented hardware. Depending on the model, the range covers classic ring sizes for conventional riflescopes as well as rail-based variants for optics that use integrated mounting rails. That makes the series relevant for hunters and rifle owners who want a mount tailored to a specific firearm while keeping the familiar advantages of a pivot system.

About the Rusan Pivot Mount without Bases for Mauser M96, LM Rail

This Rusan Pivot Mount without Bases for Mauser M96, LM Rail is configured specifically for the Mauser M96 (1896) platform and for optics that use an LM Rail connection. Its role is straightforward: it provides the upper pivot-mount assembly for rifles already equipped with compatible lower bases, including EAW Pivot Mount Bases on Mauser M96 (1896) and Rusan Pivot Mount Bases on Mauser M96 (1896). That makes it a sensible option when the rifle already has bases installed and only the optic-side mount needs to be added or replaced.

The LM rail format is especially useful for shooters who prefer a rail-mounted riflescope over separate rings. A rail interface can simplify alignment and gives a clean, integrated connection between scope and mount. In practical use, that helps maintain a tidy installation and reduces the need to match separate ring diameters to the optic. Because this is a pivot mount, the optic can be removed when needed and reattached with the handling advantages associated with this mounting style, whether for transport, access to iron sights, or changing the rifle’s configuration for different use cases.

Its steel construction supports the mechanical strength expected from a hunting mount, while the black finish keeps the appearance discreet and consistent with most rifles and optics. For a Mauser M96 owner using an LM-rail scope and compatible pivot bases, this mount offers a rifle-specific, purpose-built solution.

About Rusan

Rusan is a Croatian manufacturer with roots in family metalworking that date back to 1983. Željko Rusan opened a gunsmith shop in 1986, and the company began producing scope mounts in 1993, establishing the area that remains central to its product range today. Based in Marija Bistrica, Croatia, Rusan-Mikron focuses on practical firearm and optics interfaces rather than broad sporting-goods production.

The company is especially known for scope mounts, scope rings, Picatinny rails, and related firearm tuning products, along with adapters for modern electro-optics. Its range also includes adapter clamps for clip-on sights and adapters for night-vision and thermal-imaging devices; Rusan introduced its clip-on sight adapter clamp in 2009. This background is relevant here because it shows a long-standing specialization in the mechanical connection between rifle and optic, which is exactly the purpose of a product such as this pivot mount.
