That is correct.

That front sight in MSP #67a is about as far off to the side as it can go huh?

What is up with the tease at the top of the photo. Lets see more.

You mean these old things? Nothing special, just a few stray pups that've followed me home over the years.

In actual fact, #67b is not a PU. And not a reproduction. The down side is that I don't have a real bracket/ mount for it either.

Sorry for being away so long, between moving equipment, tooling, and storage stuff plus the Easter holiday, not much computer time since last Wednesday. The new place doesn't even have internet, yet.

Not a PU. Ok, time for plan B. It's a PEM.

Good guess!

BTW, the 1891's front sight was staked in that position. By the Finns after counterboring, I guess.
