can I get the one piece scope mount on this B25? I've tried to slide it on, but not joy... I don;t want to force it... Ideas?

Don't try to slide it on. I think you will scratch the snot out of your receiver. I loosend the screws enough, pried just a little with a big flat screwdriver. It didn't open it up all the way but enough to place on the dovetail, pushed hard and it popped into place. Yes, a bit scary but it worked. Because the receiver is crowned it spreads the mount as you press on it.
I read the darn directions hoping it would give some guidance but as you probably know it doesn't say much. I think it got lost in the Chinese translation...

That's funny, I had the same problem yesterday. The only way I could get it on--even after prying with a large screw driver, was to rest the mount on the dovetail and have one side mate into the grove. The other side was not mated. Then, I took a hammer and just lightly popped it on. It went on very easily with no damage to the mount or the dovetail.

Yup. And today I needed to take it off because I'm going to give it a lube tune and guess how I took it off? Pried a little to loosen it and tapped it with a deadblow. Pop. It came off. I know this can't have that many cycles in it but you gotta do what you gotta do.
