Would that have placed the sight behind the hand? Anybody ever seen another set up as suggested? Interesting LOP not mentioned.
It would be something as was done to this Fraser here:

The sight isn't really behind the hand but about the same place.
On this Fraser, the comb wasn't cut out to fold the sight staff back but I think the H&H above was.
Plus, sights aren't sized to the rifle so a tang sight on a Rook takes up a little more area than it does on the average full sized rifle.
