One of the oddball things about the M50 is the early ones had the dovetail groove for the rear sight right over the chamber. The one I made into a 7x57 was originally chambered to the .270 Win. and that cut over the chamber made me a bit nervous. I have a copy of the owner's manual for the m50/51 and the picture of the rifle shows that earlier version of the rear right over the chamber.

Our forefathers did not politely protest the British.They did not vote them out of office, nor did they impeach the king,march on the capitol or ask permission for their rights. ----------------They just shot them.
