Can anyone tell why this sight would have a rebated step at the top of the tang? I have a M95 Dutch Mannlicher which appears to have a tang identical to a Mannlicher-Schoenauer and This would work well on it if it would fit. | ||

It is held in place by the rear action screw, the head of which will be flush with the sight base. The receiver and stock for this model are slightly different than standard, as I recall. (I haven't had a takedown 1910 for a good number of years) | |||

Kurt, You think this is for one of the take down rifles? | |||

Yes, no question in my mind. The bottom front hole should be threaded for the the rear guard screw, which holds the sight and the rear portion of the takedown hook firmly in the stock.

SDH, Thanks for the photo. The flip up sight might have been ok for a leisurely shot but it would not have been good for use at a range. | |||

All of the tang sights I have seen were on pre-1924 rifles, all of which happen to be takedown models. I'm sure it could be ordered on either the rifle or carbine, but it had to come from the factory that way, as special machining on the rear tang was necessary. The tang sight was used in conjunction with the rear barrel sight. The aperature offered a clearer, more precise view of the sights for delicate shots. Keep in mind that scopes were practically unheard of when these sights were made. | |||

Kurt, It sounds that the Europeans were using the small aperture as a diopter to ensure sharp focus on the barrel sight. | |||
