How in the heck

[EdNunya]

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.
