Anyone have a rear sight for a 1950 Mannlicher Schoenauer?

this is from a 62. https://www.ebay.com/itm/336136112601?_skw=mannlicher+schoenauer&itmmeta=01KSRGVB9C88YYW9SY9QZ683NY&hash=item4e434609d9:g:Y2gAAeSwBpxopgiw&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA0GfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xDFxgYRa8LtVAxaDcwh%2BZcsjMXgGIHNuZSdJiHMyXe17aEWDUUHVFu54DhdS7raxA5YZCCZwqvN5LY9LOXAqSG26tT5HXJtobWogUwAOONccQDQOdVC0zq82lk41y8Jan%2F6p3FzaVH1iTCA4MrIKnTogjAw4sWD%2FiSof2GL22jUP%2BdvaunNSHxEaHITvkokZX%2FDqpsiJ95XqXahD15eS5enOAmra2smrXnTieo6YPGrofiBx82jLJXq5nwLhxcyCR8%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR-607ZDOZw

That's a front sight.

like a Lyman 36?

Have the Lyman. Just looking for a sight to fill the rear dovetail. Probably better off with a blank.

A slot blank would be appropriate or Lyman made and probably still make folding sights that would work as well. That is a really nice rifle, I hope that you enjoy shooting it and will have a chance to take it into the field.

Thanks Doc. Yes it will be in the Catskill's here in N.Y. in November.

I have a few European express sights... two & three leaf. I will try to get some pics up tomorrow.. please verify the dovetail opening...

The dovetail on the right side is 3.040".

The original back sight would have been a fixed standard (150 metres?) and a folding leaf for 300 meters or thereabouts.

The standard would have obscured much of your field of view with the Lyman, which is no doubt why it was removed.

When I fitted (thanks to Roger Hale!) a Parker-Hale cocking piece peep sight to my 9.5 x 57 I drifted out the original sight which now lives in a pot in the case.

I was fortunate to find a spare sight, and dressed down the standard to a flat bar level with the top of the folded 300 meter leaf. It does not obstruct the aim, and the folding leaf provides a useful reference to check the windage adjustment on the peep sight.
