Mosin-Nagant Side Scope Mount?

I thought I read a post somewhere in the forum about a third party side mount scope for the Mosin Nagant 91/30. Of course, I saw it before I was going to bed and can't find it anywhere now. But it has been plaguing me. Does anyone remember seeing it and IF such a scope mount exists?
Also, I was interested in hearing some thoughts from some "Old Hands". With the low cost of the Mosin-Nagant rifles right now, I picked up a few. One of the 91/30s (barrel dated 1939) shoots like a charm and seems to absorb the normal mule-kick recoil nicely. I have been thinking about converting it into a scoped rifle using either an original PU side scope mount or the third party version I mentioned above. So my question is, what - if any - are some of your thoughts on the ethics of "chopping" one of these rifles? I have some guilt pangs given the history of some of these. Thoughts?
Thanks.

The second URL was the one. Thanks. $149.00 for a scope mount? Hmmmm.... sounds like I will be getting this from Santa this year. LOL
Do you know if this dealer will sell to non-law enforcement?
Thanks again. [:)]
The Russkies made 19 million Mosin Nagants, and they aren't as pretty as a Swede Mauser anyway. Where's my hacksaw?

I appreciate your input into this thought.
