Are the rings on the scope the one's you're talking about? If so they look like normal Weaver rings that do not require taking the scope apart, they just kind of "snap" over the scope tube.
Congrats on your Transition M70, I believe that they are the best M70's ever built. All the quality of the pre-war but built to take a scope. My father collected them befroe he passed away and now I continue the collection of Transition era M0's. My dad got out of the Army in 1947 and ordered a M70 and didn't get one till 1950 as they were that hard to get so he ordered a pre-war and got a post-war, hence why he likes the Transitions.
