Description: PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE LISTING TEXT AND CAREFULLY REVIEW ALL 9 PHOTOS. This is a listing for a very scarce and extremely difficult to find rear sight for the PRE-WAR MAUSER ES350N .22 LR TARGET RIFLE. This very rare sight was originally made for the ES 350N rifle with the grooved target barrel which allowed the rear sight to slide up and down for best positioning for the shooter to use. The ES350N was made before 1934. NOTICE: this rear sight has been modified by a prior owner who replaced the Factory sight slide with what appears to be a WW2 type military peep sight, maybe a M-1 Carbine or 1903A3 Springfield rear sight-I do not know. The new sight platform has been spot welded in 2 spots that I can see. I bought this sight to try to fit it to my Mauser ES350B rifle, but the sight grooves were not wide enough and I do not have the tools to widen them. I believe that the buyer could either use a file or have a machinist do a very light shave on the inner grooves and the sight would probably work on the ES350B rifle. The sight can certainly be used as it is (after the grooves have been widened) as it has both windage and elevation adjustments. I do not know what the values are for the adjustments-see the photos for reference numbers and windage line marks. The right knob moves the peep sight left and right and the peep sight is adjusted for elevation by sliding the peep up or down the sight ramp. All sight adjustments are in good working order as I have moved them to verify. The sight is all steel and very well made and is in good to very good vintage condition overall. The sight has a small knob to loosen or tighten the sight to the barrel grooves. The approximate measurements of the grooves are: front: 8.80mm in width (bottom sides), when tightened, approx. 8.33mm-see photos for the maximum in and out adjustments. The outside measurement of the sight accross the front is approx. 18mm. The rails are sharp and undamaged. The buyer is responsible for knowing if this sight can be modified to fit their rifle and should consult a gunsmith or machinist if in doubt as this part is NOT: A BUY, TRY AND RETURN PART! This part is NONRETURNABLE, so, please email me any questions BEFORE you buy it. This sight base alone is well worth the price as many different sights could be attached to the sight base per the buyer's needs. This is a Special opportunity for the right buyer to buy a virtually unobtainable sight base with great possibilities at such a reasonable price! I have sold many Mauser .22 rifle parts over the last few years on eBay and they do not last long, so, buy it while you can as you won't see sights like this at the gun shows! I am over 70 now and have been selling my lifetime collection of collectibles on eBay-see my other listings. I am a long time NRA Life Member. Buy with confidence, as I have many great feedbacks. I believe in the old Golden Rule and want my buyers to be happy with their purchase, so, if any problems, please contact me first to resolve any issues. NO RESERVE. ALL SALES AND ALL SHIPPING TO THE U.S. 50 STATES ONLY, NO FOREIGN SALES. ALSO, NO SALES AND NO SHIPPING TO FOREIGN BUYERS WITH A U.S. MAILING ADDRESS. Due to the small size of the part, it will be shipped in a hard box via USPS Priority Mail, insured and due to the scarcity of the part and it's value, a signature will be required to reduce the chance of mail theft. Thank you for looking.
