Here is a photo of the mount, and also a photo of the mount that is attached to a .22 rifle of similar vintage...
That looks like my tube-fed 22 Stevens, and even has the same steel-strap trigger guard.

The receiver looks different from the Higgins [pic below] but the N3 looks like it would work. I had forgotten that the N3 used 7/8" scopes. Do they even make 7/8" scopes today???
