Yeah, that MacNaughton is a weird duck for sure. I was considering buying it, but in the end I just couldn't stomach its odd features. These are rare rifles, for a fact.

There happens to be another .303 MacNaughton on the market at this time on the Schwandt website. I'll make mention of some design features and give a link to the photos. Here's the listing:

Schwandt MacNaughton listing

It has a "ribless" design, meaning there are no ribs between the barrels from the forend forward.

There is a clunky looking block at the muzzles with the front sight, which has a screw underneath for elevation adjustment. It looks like the adjustment screw is made for use with golved hands and a coin - not a delicate screw by any means!

Profile of muzzle block.

The Schwandt rifle has a conventional express rear sight with a parade of folding leaves.

Marrakai, you are certainly familiar with these features already, but I thought I would post references to these photos for the benefit of others who may not have seen or handled one of these interesting rifles.
