Information,Identification and dating of rifle

Fellowes, another congratulation with the finding of the period correct sight. I was aware of that very scarce Parker Hale sight but have never seen one for sale. (And probably never will). Even though there are many sights that will fit the 11mm grooves of the “b” model Mausers very few will clear the bolt handle and/or the loading port.

I ran across a 340b rifle several years ago that is British proofed and has a Parkerized barrel liner, broken stock, butchered front sight ramp. Price was right though. I picked up that aftermarket stock and I modified an Anschutz -Redfield adapter and put on an Olympic sight. The adapter simply clamps to the receivers grooves. It turned out to be a fun and accurate shooter.( I suspect the rifle had a Parker Hale rear sight on it at one time as the front ramp had a Parker Hale globe dovetailed in the front ramp when I bought the rifle)

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

Yea, getting parts together for a rifle 85 years later isn't easy. Congrads on the find. Where did you end up getting it? England or mainland Europe? U just never can see to find anything like what you all pull out of the woodwork.


I think Bruno, from France, is big into these type of sights... he has a bunch shown in his trainer rifle book... do you have it?

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?
