Thanks Fuhrman,
Where's the peep sight base?
thanks, Rob
Rob,
the rounded block on top of the tang will be the base for an adjustable and detachable peep sight - these sights often are missing nowadays. It makes sense that the normal rear sight is also detachable, either this or the peep is used.
In front of the peep sight base I see something which may be a safety switch. Such rifles often came without any safety - no need for safeties on the target range. Presence of a safety should indicate intentions to take the piece to hunting.
I have never seen a spring-loaded trigger guard / loading lever like this. I think this is intended to hold the lever firmly in place; and it should not be part of a safety.
Regards,
Fuhrmann
