Weaver scope mount

Can anyone guide me in the right direction to find a Weaver SS scope mount for the older mini 14. I believe the one I am looking for is a pistol mount. You have to remove the rear sight from the gun to use it. I had one years ago but can not seem to find the number for it now.
Thanks

    Do you have the Mini-14 factory mounts that came with the gun ?

    I found the factory rings too short and had to go to a smaller diameter scope lens. My 4x fixed on the facory rings performs as well as the gun or I can.

    On my late 80s vintage non-ranch rifle mini-14 the scope mounts replaced the sliding cover over the action hold open button with one that had a threaded hole. They then bolted to that hole and locked in place.

    No, I do not have any mounts or rings for this rifle at this time. They did not come with the gun when new since it had no place to mount a scope. I really do not like the side mounts at all. That is why I am looking for the old type where you remove the rear sight and the mount attaches with a bolt through the rear sight bolt hole on the non ranch rifle. I had this weaver mount in SS and the SS weaver rings and scope. The scope was all SS, not like the brushed aluminum ones today.
    Thanks for the comments guys
