Lyman Mannlicher sight
|
|
If I were to open a NIB Lyman 1A cocking piece sight for the Mannlichers, what would I find in the box? I'm sure there would be an instruction sheet of some sort, and the sight, but what else? I've seen references to a "nut" being part of the deal, but I don't have any idea what the term nut means in this case, or what it looks like.
Can anyone describe the installation of the 1A cocking piece sight on a rifle? Can anyone share pictures of one installed?

I would say the "Nut" is the cocking piece nut which is dovetailed for the sight to fit into ?

Maybe this picture helps to understand what is a "nut"?

Is the nut the part extending out to the left, that looks like a cocking piece knob? I don't have a good picture of a Mannlicher cocking piece know to compare that too.

How much would I have to spend to get one of these? With my eyes I'd like one for my .375 1910.

Here is a Lyman installed on a 1895 Mannlicher:
And a Parker - Hale "Sportarget" on a M1903 Mannlicher-Schoenauer:

Thanks for the link, Kuduae. That's s help. I'm wondering if the Lyman came with a special nut, as it looks to me like the standard nut couldn't be dovetailed without cutting away a significant portion of the firing pin. As I mentioned above, I've found reference to some kind of nut being included in the box as part of the sight. If you look at the first picture Igorrock posted, it appears to me the portion of the nut that is dovetailed is thicker than the portion dovetailed in the first picture posted by Kuduae. Igorrock, you picture of the disassembled bolt is much appreciated. It helps me to get my mind around a design I haven't had my hands on for a few decades. Is there any way you could post a picture of the cocking piece nut edge on. I suppose if I could make the right contact, there's a sight collector out there somewhere who knows the details exactly. I've gotten excited about an 1895 Mannlicher sporter project, building one in the British style, and a cocking piece sight would just be the icing on the cake. I need to know what to look for -- or what I might have to have made.
