I'm laying the ground work for a Mauser project. I have the donor rifle in hand, an FN Model 1950 Moroccan contract that has already been Bubba'd. My goal is to build a 9.3x62 "working rifle" that's classically styled, but not fancy.
I'm leaning two different directions for sights:
1. Original sliding Mauser type. I have a sight from a carbine graduated to 600m that closely matches those on the Mauser model A spotters
2. Drill receiver for a Lyman 48 or 57. I have a Redfield peep on a .270 and love it.
I'm not going to drill for a scope, and it's important to me (mostly for novelty sake) to be able to use stripper clips, so I can't block the charger guide.
What say you? Traditional Mauser, or with an American twist?
