Thank you very much for the reply. 👍

Slightly off topic I know but could anyone advise me on the correct lubrication of these bolts. Ie is it correct to grease the bolt spring?

Bolt ends do differ. The non-blued one is from a 340b

This is the bolt from my 410b. It is also blued. I’ve never had any reason to believe it’s anything other than original. I believe the rifle is 1939.

Thanks for the info

No. I haven’t got that book. I have Jon Speeds book but that one looks like it would be a great addition. Where would someone get a copy?

That’s an amazing restoration. It certainly fell on its feet when it came into your hands. 👍

Good old uk evil bay was the source. I did have to make an insert for the dovetail as someone had opened it up for a wider rail in the past. I’m now trying to find the right combination of lenses to give my aged eyes the best crispness of view. The best so far is wearing long distance...

Here are some photos of Ph16e

aperture sight Thankyou for all your input. I have decided to wait until I can get a rail mounted aperture and see how I get on with that. Swammie was right about the rear sight. I bought an Identical one of ebay this week. It was advertised as a CZ/BRNO rear sight and with a little filing...

aperture sight es340b Thanks for the picture maxximmumm. Very interesting how it fixes to the rails but the long mount brings the aperture close to your eye, which the Parker Hale PH16e would not do. I have considered fitting a tang mounted peep sight which would obviously mean drilling two...

aperture sight for es340b Thanks for all replies. After doing a some research I found on Rifleman .org tha Parker Hale did a 'Sportarket sight PH16e' that should fit on the Mauser 11mm rails. Now to find one! I too believe these guns should be enjoyed and shot. I made a mock up aperture sight...

Mauser es340b Mauser22, Thank you for your prompt reply. The rifle shoots like a dream! As you can see I only have a cheap modern scope and mounts on it at the moment but I would like try an aperture sight, but without harming the rifle when fixing. Is this a common thing to do and...
