It's a bolt stop and the body of an adjustable receiver sight, I think, I'll guess that it's intended for the Haenel. At first I thought it might be some sort of sear carrier. I still need to crack a book or do some research to be more certain of it's entirety. I knew that M-S receiver sights in general weren't common, but not the details of them.

You are right, it is a sight base for a Lyman 22 sight. It is intended to replace the bolt stop on either an 88 commission rifle or Mannlicher-Haenel. According to Nick Stroebel's book, it was last produced in 1919. The Lyman 36 sights replaced it. Here is a link to the patent application for this sight. lyman sight patent

Thanks PhysDoc, I learned something I wouldn't have otherwise, so this peep sight is intended for either target shooter or service rifle and must be pivoted aside to cycle the bolt. I'll need to learn more about the two rifles, I like books sometimes and have even bought a few lately, they have lots of pictures though. More sporting than target, C.G. Haenel, Haenel-Mannlicher, sporting rifle, 8x57 should search. The rifle has a Lyman #36.

Ahh, yes. And Lyman 36's don't exactly grow on trees either. Thanks for the education!

Not reconditioned, maybe old sights are rust blue, newer sights are hot blue. A live link won't seem to post for the rifle with a Lyman #36.

well, I tried, failed, put things away for a while, came back to it and here is what it looks like. It seems to work, now I just need to find an action to test it on, before putting the finishing touches on it.
