Scope mounts for an M-1 Garand?

I was wondering what options are available that would allow installing a scope on an M-1 Garand. I don't want to do any drilling or tapping and want to keep the rifle original. Does anyone make a mount for the Garands?
Thanks for any information!

  I have the same plans for my Garand. I missed a B-Square mount here on GB that sold for 60 dollars.
  
  www.sportsmansguide.com has the B-Square mount for the Garand for $69.95

  I helped a friend scope out his M1. He used one of the better mounts, I think it was a S&K, he ended up putting the rifle back to stock and selling the mount on the auctions site a year or so back. In the end he decided that the amount of offset required to allow the empty cases to eject just made the whole thing too hoakey. The fact that he had to massively build up the stock in tape and stuffing didn't help either. It might have helped if he was left eye dominate but he wasn't. He wanted a limited range (3 to 400 yd) rifle for accurate shoting and,as I had counciled all along, a decent midlen weight deer rifle was just the answer.
