DIY Cocking Piece Aperture for my 1910 MS
27/10/23 09:37 AM

I had purchased a model 1910 MS in February of this year to finish out my collection of proprietary cartridge rifles. I have done reloading and shooting with the rifle but the factory sights are very difficult to see even in good light.
All my vintage hunting rifles wear aperture sights because that's what I enjoy shooting. As most of you know, original aperture sights don't show up on the market much and usually command a hefty price when they do.
Some time back, I purchased a Parker Hale Sportarget sight that was originally tang mounted for an unknown rifle. I thought that I could easily cut off the mounting tab and silver solder it to an extra firing pin nut that I had. Unfortunately, the barrel of the sight was too tall to use with the Mannlicher and I couldn't figure out a way to shorten it. I put the sight away and decided to keep looking for something that would work.
Recently, a Parker Hale 16 showed up in eBay. I originally thought that I would modify the PH16 for use on the 1910 until a light bulb went off in my head. Fortunately, the barrel of the PH16 was easily swapped over to the Sportarget. I was able to finish the sight this week and I'm happy with how it looks. I also purchased a Skinner brass Partridge-style front sight which I will need to file down to the appropriate height. Thought that I would share this with my fellow NitroExpress members.
