Not the response your looking for but find a 70's 94 that already has the mount on it and keep yours as it is without any residual marks should it be removed at a later date. I have one if your interested, PM me if so.
The post 64's aren't nearly as bad as people make them out to be, are they a pre 64, no, but they certainly are still a Winchester and a 94.
I have nothing against modified old guns because they weren't collectible back then and all that the term collectible has done is inflate the price of them. That being said, there is no need to continue to modify these fine old rifles when there are lots of options to avoid doing so, but that is just me.
