Tang sights, Verguerio
24/08/16 06:14 PM

I've acquired a Portuguese Verguerio action and barrel. Not a barreled action just the two separate items. I'll make a sporter with them. The barrel is 8mm, with strong rifling but frosty groves. It should clean up reasonably well. I'm going to ask my gunsmith to turn the barrel down a bit, give it more taper to make it lighter -- and prettier.

I've seen many pictures in this forum of Mannlichers with tang sights mounted behind the action. I really like the Marbles tang sight on my Savage 99, and think I'd like a similar sight on the Verguerio. I'm assuming tang sights on mannlichers fold back as the bolt is worked and return to battery as the bolt goes forward, much like the Lyman 36. Is this Correct? Can anyone explain this type of sight in a little more detail, please? Could any of the currently available tang sights for lever actions and such be modified to Work?

I do have a plan in my head for a very tidy cooking piece sight that might work very well. It's based on the XS ghost ring scout rifle sight, which is mounted on the receiver bridge of bolt action rifles.
