It will not fit without significant modification. The M1941 sniper conversion requires drilling and tapping the receiver for the rear base (0.860" hole spacing, center to center) and cutting into the hard guard to drill and tap the barrel for the front base (0.560" hole spacing, center to center).
The spacing between the front and rear bases needs to be 7.250" in order to get the 1/4 MOA click adjustments.
For some reason Hi-lux did not copy the original Unertl dovetail block dimensions (However, the hole spacing IS CORRECT)
-Unertl Scope rings WILL NOT fit on the dovetail blocks from a Gen II Malcolm
-A Gen II will fit on Vintage Unertl/Lyman dovetail blocks but will be offset to the Right of bore by .030-.040"
Far greater improvement from the Gen 1, and well worth the additional cost. I had to replace the scope I first received, as there was excess oil on the inside that got on the edges of the lenses. HI Lux makes some great niche products but I never tru...

This vintage replica second generation military scope has a very solid feel to it. The optics are very clear, and I prefer the simple crosshair reticle. It's a bonus the mounts are included. The perfect vintage replica scope for a Springfield 1903 or...

Thank you Hi-Lux for making this masterpiece of a scope. It is a major improvement over Gen I. This scope proudly sits on top of my 03A1 which is used for vintage sniper.
Clicks are super crisp, and it is nice how the numbers are indexed counter-clo...

Scope shoots great. Wonderful reproduction of the unertal. I have two with no issues. But you should locktite the Mount screws. Flip the scope over and there’s holes for the screws to come threw, put some locktite in them and tighten it down.
The Gen II is what we've waited for for YEARS!!!
-The rings are head and shoulders above the the old ones. They are the 1st style unertl rings with the sliding key, not the later micrometer style. They can be re-indexed to zero! Comparable in qualit...

Product Info for Hi-Lux Optics Malcolm Gen II 8x31mm Rifle Scope, Vintage Sniper Legal, 3/4in Tube
The Malcolm 8X Vintage Sniper Competition (VSC) rifle scope is the embodiment of years of constructive feedback and improvements to the Malcolm 8X. The Malcolm 8X VSC rifle scope is purpose built for vintage sniper matches on the 1903A1 Springfield.
Most notably, this scope features the Unertl style competition micrometer adjustments. These adjustment turrets allow for zero backlash in between clicks and dial precise 1/4 MOA adjustments when the mounts are spaced 7.250" from center to center. The turrets can also be reindexed to "zero" after initial zeroing.
All threads on the rifle tube and objective are significantly improved from the previous generation. The threads turn easily and feel super smooth.
The pope rib on the body has been laser spot welded on to the scope tube for straightness and strength.
All screws in the scope and mounts are hardened for optimal durability.
