So, let's introduce my little carbine !
It's a 42-MB made in 1941 which had been rent to the UK under the terms of the Lend-Lease contract.
There, the old sight has been taken away and replaced by Parker-Hale PH16D aperture sight.
I was searching for a military training rifle in .22 LR in a local gun shop but I wanted something more special than the traditionnal Mauser or Lee-Enfield. So, the vendor first proposed me a rare Swiss training rifle (a K-11 converted to .22 lr in single shot). But it was far too much for my purses (around 700 euros ! :shock: ) and it weighed a lot for me. (wasn't picturing myself carrying it for hours on the shooting range ! )
So, he tchated with his colleague, get away in the back of the shop and showed me this Mossberg. But he was embarassed because it lacked his diaphragm. I still took it because I had never seen a rifle quite like this. It took me some time to find the proper diaphragm by a friend of mine which is specialized in Parker-Hale sight.
Now it's complete, it doesn't get out the 9 on a C50 at 50m (when I'm bored ! ).
Here are some pic's :
