I don't think it would be as easy as you might want it to be. The one I installed that was built by Mr. Zimmerman would probably be easiest by switching out for another cocking piece to the bolt. Naturally that would mean bolt disassembly which isn't difficult for any Mauser. This could be easily done in camp!

Otherwise you may risk loosing small parts. I know the sight was absolutely a stunning piece of workmanship! And I believe, best I remember, it came with an additional dovetailed cocking piece. I did also manufacture a new front sight blade too. A higher one was needed for the particular rifle I worked on.

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
