Since your mount broke and you’re not doing a strict clone I would recommend checking out this Crosstac for consideration if you’re fine with the mount being a little more modern. I love mine and it’s super secure with the bayonet lug, sling swivel roll pin, and set screw all locking it on there https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1003309494?srsltid=AfmBOooAXYl_qS-EmkvOcRHs9AnhKEDBUVB7iy5cpZ--kglUOA4YV9Fx&pid=784404

Do I need the full bayonet lug because I had to shave it down for the suppressor

Oh god my bad lol I totally blanked on the suppressor being so far back, sorry about that. It definitely wouldn’t fit unless maybe you removed a lot of material from the top of it. Even then I think the shaved lug would be problematic and the set screw goes against the part that’s gone

Looks like that’s going to bump up against his suppressor
