Muir yes it does. We don't know who did it but the trigger bears a searial number like those used by several british gunmakers such as Rigby but we checked and it's not a Rigby number so the question remains open.

BritH: Here is a bit on one of the forums that has the link and pictures of the sight. (Bottom of the page) The gy takes about 6 mos but they are worth the effort. The e-mail addy is in the text. Enjoy. ~Muir

Thanks Muir,
I havn't seen that type before. I was thinking more of the Lyman/Parker-Hale type which has a fold down stem but will keep it in mind. As fort eh dovetail size I can measure it.
Now I have been wondering about making one up out of an old P-H 16 rear sight. Just have to try and work it all out and figure out the windage adjustment that they had.
of course some years ago when I Ron Whartons workshop when I asked him about them he produced a new Lyman or P-H one but kept it back for a customer as some still wanted them fitted to their new Rigby style rifles.

These are the traditional Rigby sight meant to be used full time. I have shot them mounted on a Griffin & Howe 30-40 Krag Jorgensen and they are really a good hunting sight. It would look right on your MS but better on the Rigby! Maybe you could find another cocking piece for the Rigby..... ~Muir
(Yes. We Yanks are a cobblesome bunch.)

Actually that might not be so difficult as I was talking to a couple of Dutch collectors as the Newark shooting show. They were on the HBSA (Historical Breechloading Smallarms Association) stand and they might just be able to help with a cocking pice from a Dutch M95 Mannlicher which of course is really a Mdl 1892/3 Mannlicher same as my Rigby
I would need to check but I seem to recall that there is no discernable play in the cocking piece with the bolt cocked. Of course it may be possible to just switch the firing pin nut from the Schoenauer which is dovetailed already with the Rigby Mannlicher one 
.I might even have a quiet chat with Ron about it as he will know about Rigbys and their specs.
Meanwhile to add more fuel to the thread here is another especially for Muir to drool over, sorry no bolt tail peep just express sights set into a full length "Cape Rib" on this one:-
BSA commercial sporting rifle in 303 (of course) the barrel of which had been replaced with a new one just prior to my acquiring it so the bore is just about perfect

Wot me??? Nooooooooooooooo ain't got a long scalely tail
Hmmmm I gues then I must have posted the DWM Mauser M93 then 
................ the ole memory box must be on the blink!As for the Firing pin nut ( as Mauser called it) aka Cocking piece I might just take you up on that however a barrel would be problematic both sides of the pond. Yours would come under the Patriot Act and could land you in serious hot water and here it's licensable so...............
I wonder if you have seen this one:-
Ahhh possibly on the Nitroexpress Forums but not I think here
.303 Martini of Belgian manufacture for the Omanis.
Now this is one I picked up a short time ago after a long search then only to dicover I had boobed as it's not a Hunter but a Regent. Beign a 1954 rifle rather than a 1953 one:-
It's a .222 Remington chambered rifle and it shoots rather well
. So the search for a good Hunter continues..

I've handled a Belgian made 303 Martini once when I worked at a large gunshop in New Mexico but have no idea as to its contractor. At the time I was buying military Martinis in .303 as I'd just become a .303 fanatic. Nice .222 rifle. We don't see those models at all here, in any caliber. Didn't you recently fine one in 22 Hornet?? ~Muir
PS: Let me know about the cocking piece. The barrel quip was to emphasize that parts are plentiful here. I have a Dutch someplace but can't remember where it's stored. I'd like to put one of the unissued carbine barrels on it. It would make a nice hunting outfit.

It's taken a little while to get organised, but today I am pleased to post:
A Sako 75 in .243 Win stocked in a Richards Microfit stock pillar bedded by Cromarty Guns (formerly Thompson & Campbell Ltd) and recently re-barrelled to 1:8 twist by Border Barrels.
The third .260 Rem I have had, this time a Remington SA re-barrelled by RG Rifles http://www.rgrifles.com/index.html collected on Monday. The barrel is a Kreiger 1:8 twist with 8 small flutes. Both rifles share an AU-S5 moderator.

Craig S,
May I ask you is that a Pro Stalker?
I ask because it's not a P-H that I am familar with
The photo does not show but I wonder does it have the P-H name roll marked into the barrel like this:-
Parker-Hale always marked the barrels on their rifles like that.

It Says the same thing on the barrel, but i dont have a clue what model it is. It is also the only one i've seen with a laminate stock.

Hmmm Craig, the model 1300 Scout used a laminated stock so I am assuming it's got one of those on it however as I don't have any of the very late P-H advertising material it's impossible to say what it actually is. The search for more P-h catalogues and fliers continues just so we can say what these rifles are and when they were made. I see you have decided to sell it now though ........................... Pity.
What are you planning on replacing it with may i ask?

Im just having a bit of a clear out, the rifles that aren't used much are being outed for space. I'm using a sako 75 .308 at the moment but I'm getting rid of that as well and getting a Blaser R93.
