I am going on info from the guy who handled this - and he his connection with the company in Aalborg that did this.
    All of the rifles that B&N sold on eGun are with sights EXACTLY as on your rifle that you (/user Mbechmann for you) posted two posts above. There simply is no difference. I've once owned one of these rifles and can fully confirm this from first hand.

    Exactly THESE rifles were those where user "lgo", who is from Denmarkicon and therefore also a native speaker, had said that those were hunter conversions by the RGTC.

    And just my thoughts: over here any soldier who carved his stock (post WWII) would be in serious trouble. Also if the fact that an ammo pouch was permanentely affixed to the stock would result in the same situation. In my opinion it however would make sense a hunter would do this. It is his personal rifle and he can do whatever he is happy with. And they might need more ammo and preferrably carry it directly where they need it. I'd therefore assume yours is also one of the hunter conversions outcarried by the RGTC, whereas the Sirius Dog Sled Patrol (also according to the few pictures I was able to find) had carried the M1917 rifles with the original sights.
