New sight for my Mauser Es340B

[mark k]

One of my favorite rifles is a Mauser Es340B. My changing vision has taken away some of my enjoyment from shooting tangent sighted rifles. This week I got lucky and found an old peep that fits the rifle perfectly. It's only marking are 'Lockheed Wagner F.C.726A' on the eyecup. I just had to share.

Hi Mark , As I was telling Mooncoon , that one is originally for the Es 350B or Olympic. It is not the original aperture. as its not Mauser marked it would have been a subcontracted after market accessory . very nice all the same, now you need to get that Es350B that was on here a couple weeks back. good hunting.

Always nice to find that rare piece, to keep you still shoot'in !!
I buy a lot of peep sights just because I love how much work goes into such tiny things
Great find and beautiful rifle!

The Mauser made diopters and front globe are unmarked too.
Congrats to Mark for finding something as rare as rocking horse droppings!

Sadly, I had a Ms350b a couple of years ago and had to sell it. I don't imagine affording another any time soon. Anyone know what it went for?
I did a little reading tonight. It appears the rubber eye cup is probably a boot from a brake master cylinder.
I cleaned the sight up a little tonight. All parts are numbered '6' and there's a lower case Germanic 'n' on the inside if the mounting groove. I'm just happy to find a period item.
