Paradox, congratulations on your rare and much desirable rifle about which I will make the following comments:
- A real crossbred mounted on a M.1924 action possibly/probably manufactured for the Sequoia contract but never exported to the US and reaching market at a later date; without the M.1924 marking it would be considered a M.1925 High Velocity model. The use of such in-stock parts was quite common in those days and we all have in mind Mannlicher Schoenauer rifles still marked Osterreichische Waffenfabrikgesellschaft while being manufactured in the post-1926 era or Mauser ones still mentioning Waffenfabrik Mauser while being issued by Mauserwerke AG.
- The "typical multi-leaf folding sight" of your rifle is not Sequoia-specific; it is in fact a rear sight option offered to clients on all high-velocity models; Rothhammer has posted many old Stoeger catalogs’ pages referring to these options. Referring to my own two High Velocity models (both posted on the Forum), the 9,3x62 (exported to Transvaal/South Africa) sports a similar express-type rear sight type while the 7x64 (remained in Austria) is fitted with a classic continental European one (one fixed leaf and one folding one).
- The linking/fastening pin is an interesting and wise concept; I had thought (as many of us probably did) of something similar when I was trying years ago to replace a missing pin, but found an original one in the end.
Anyway, congratulations again on your rare and desirable rifle!
Louis
