Let me know how this turns out cause my brother is looking into doing this with his M44. Unless he decides to post it for sale.
THERE it is ... You do know you have to be a member for 30 days AND have 20 "substantial" posts, right?? Oh ... and welcome to OSA!! 
holy moly, better get a pillow and some duct tape for the stock for a decent cheek weld!
I have been a member for over a year and I have no intentions in taking care of someone elses business on these forums. I would just like to know how this goes. I have never looked into such a thing. Sorry to have made you fall on the floor and laugh so hard. My apologies.
LOL ... My apologies ... it's December is my only excuse ... well, that and apparently I "might" be needing a new eyeglass prescription ...
Meh... I just knocked the rear sight off and used 11mm (3/8") scope rings to hold a long eye relief pistol scope on to the rail that the original rear sight assembly sits on. I used a drill to add a notch to the bottom of the scope ring clamps so that it aligned with the pinholes under the rail that held the original rear sight assembly in place. I reinserted the pins, aligning the notched ring clamps to the pinholes and it's enough to prevent the scope rings from creeping foward from the recoil.
A second option is to use a 11mm (3/8") to picatinny rail adapter and use weaver/picatinny rings or mounts to attach your scope or red dot. If using the rails adapter, I recommend doing the same thing and notching the bottom of the clamps with the pinholes or using some rubber / locktite / ect to roughen the rails so the whole mount doesn't creep forward under recoil.
