    Swedish Mauser Micrometer Rear Sight...

    So I’m considering trying to track down a micrometer rear sigh for my M96 long rifle... I understand that there are two types, the SM Sikte F-Ram and the SM Sikte AGJ. Can anyone verify which one is the correct rear sight for the M96?

    Side question, were these actually used on military rifles or only on target rifles?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    I think this site could help: Swedish rifles 1894 to 1960
    Didn’t check yet, but it has lots of info.

    The SM backsight types were replacements, and used on civilian target rifles. Military rifles were not supposed to be altered, and thus the only acceptable micrometer backsight was the Västerös micrometer insert, which was a removable add-on for competition purposes, and not a replacement of the backsight leaf, i.e. not an alteration of the original rifle.* See Dana Jones "The Crown Jewels" P. 201-212.

    *The BDMP follows this interpretation.

    Hello. Just received a 96/38 a couple of weeks ago. All numbers matching including the Västerös micrometer insert. I have never seen a numbered to the rifle insert before this one. I have looked here, other sites, and all over the net trying to find another one. I'm guessing when this one was converted to the 38 configuration that this was installed at the same time?

    Thanks, Scott
