Image below from HarveyWilson - Image Title: Take Down mannlicher Image Info: This is a take down Mannlicher-Schoenauer rifle (not carbine). Many like this were English conversions with a push pin up front and a small lever at the trigger guard.They also has a folding peep sight in the grip behind the action, and a pocket for an extra front sight in the bottom of the grip, as well as the usual trap door butt plate with 2 holes for cartridges and the top, larger hole for a cleaning rod.  Top pic and note should be last.....guess I got carried away adding pix
 This is a Lyman 36 sight. It's consistently given 3 shot rested groups averaging 1 1/2 inches at 100 yards with 160 gr. Hornady RN bullets. I'll try uploading some other Mannlicher-Schoenauer peep sights..some on the bolt itself and another in the grip behind the action. I'm interested in a take-down rifle, probably an English conversion, one in 7x57 and another in 9x56. Both have the grip peep, as well as an extra front sight in a pocket in the bottom of the grip.Image below from HarveyWilson - Image Title: Mannlicher stock peep sight  Image below from HarveyWilson - Image Title: Mannlicher-Schoenauer bolt peep Image Info: Another version of a Mannlicher-Schoenauer bolt peep sight  Image below from HarveyWilson - Image Title: Mannlicher Bolt Peep Image Info: One type of Mannlicher-Schoenauer peep sight  Yayyyyy...this O.F.

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: What a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. And it always returns to zero? What if the spring wears over time? Does the fit of the parts also ensure the sight will return to its "base" position?
