When you can't go to the bars what do you do...I decided to make a Lyman #36 type peep sight for my M1910 Mannlicher. Was a fun project and works really well. The one picture is of all the parts needed. It is not an exact copy because I don't own a #36 or have I ever seen one other then in pictures. And they are usually very expensive if you can find one......

Well maybe "Closed Sight Company" smile Bars are open in Wisconsin and opening here at the end of the month. So I won't have much time for machining. Just kidding.
So many years ago when I was on the bench I liked instrument making alot. The fun part is figuring out how to make all the features on the parts. For example on the bolt stop there is a dome shaped button on the bolt stop. I made that shape in the 4 jaw on the lathe and bored the shape. Anyway, it keeps me off the streets in retirement.
BTW, I have always been a Win M70 guy until I got this M1910 M-S and it is now my favorite. It's chambered in the 375 Nitro Express (9.5x57) which is sure fun to shoot

Wow, that is quite the compliment coming from you. What are some of the things that you like about the rifle and cartridge? Also how did you blue the sight and what was the biggest hassle in making it?

I just like the looks and feel of the rifle. It was made in 1920 so its a century old this year. It has nice lines and features. It only weighs around 6.5 lbs and carries nicely.
I don't think anything was a major hassle. I long ago took the mindset that what ever I am making at that moment is the hardest thing I have ever done so I plan what I am going to do and then pay attention.

LRF,
Do you want to really have fun? I have one of these sights on a Mauser, the slide operates by rack and pinon. Try to make one of those. Really great work, BTW.
Mike
