Thanks for the information. Sounds like traditionally, the type of claw mounts I have with the single claw in the rear would not have had an opening to allow for shooting with the open sights. The openings are just a way to reduce weight. And also sounds like normally, with drillings the scope is just left on most of the time? Were the shotgun barrels traditionally used for bird and small game hunting? Or were they loaded with slugs? Or maybe one barrel with a slug and one with shot? And when the shotgun barrels were used for birds and small game did the hunter just sight through the scope? Or was the scope removed prior to using the shot barrels? Guess I am just curious as to how these guns were traditionally used in Germany.

Thanks,
Ron
