    New To Me 6.5x55 Carl Gustav

    Hello all, this is my first Swissicon so I have a question about the sights. The rifle is a model 96 dated 1905. The serial numbers match and after a good cleaning it appears to have a shiny bore. I will be taking it to the range tomorrow after loading 50 rounds to test. The sight is graduated from 300 to 600 on the slide then lifting the ladder it goes to some huge number. On the rear bridge it has been tapped for a diopter sight of unknown model. I looked for this style of sight and found many versions. Does someone know what model might have been installed on this year model? The holes are staggered right side being forward of the left hole. There was mention of these sights, while looking similar, having slightly different mounting dimensions. Anyway thanks for looking. Cheers
