Lance, I couldn't find that old King sight in any old catalog I have, and as rare as those Remington made 1907/15 Mannlicher Berthier rifles were in this country I doubt it was made specifically for it. I imagine it was adapted to fit the the long solid front of the cocking piece. In the current Rifle magazine I see John Barsness has a photo of his 1903 MS with a modern, inexpensive aluminum peep sight screwed on it. That would be the cheapest and most solid was to go. The old Lyman 36 sights are rare and bring well over $300 on E-bay and I have one on my 1903 and it works OK but is spring loaded and swings out of the way and then back every time you work the bolt.

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either never used one - or else is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship
