The somewhat loose barrel to receiver joint did not matter much when barrel mounted iron sights only were used. It became a problem when scopes were mounted on the receiver, independent of the barrel, at least in part. To quote Rigby’s 1924 leaflet on their Mausers, on The “Take Down” Model: “We do not recommend this if a telescope sight is required.”.
