MS 1908 Bolt Shroud Aperture Fabrication
      #374271 - 20/02/23 09:34 AM

I just purchased a 1908 MS to add to my collection. Because I love to punch holes in paper and in deer, I decided to fabricate a bolt shroud aperture sight. I purchased an old Marbles sight that I thought could be converted into an aperture sight for Mannlichers. This sight is compact and has both windige and elevation adjustment.
I cut off the receiver mounting bracket and silver soldered it to an extra bolt shroud nut. I also shortened the end of an extra firing pin to reduce interference.
I'm happy with the outcome. Looking forward to getting some ammo made and hitting the range.

Nicely done!

I have a directory of ripped images of different cocking-piece and bolt-shroud mounted aperture sights, for future reference.
Your handiwork has now been added, fjrdoc.
Thanks!

Marrakai, I'm glad that my sight could be part of your directory.
