Well, it could be, if you made your own 'artillery' (or carbine) barrel...Like I did...

It's an actual C96 rear sight assembly with a milled-flat receiver mount. I cut it off a surplus receiver, thinking I would keep it for a spare in case either of my two Mausers broke a sight. But I doubt if I will ever shoot either of them again, and I'm going with the Mauser carbine sight on my long-barrel [top of pic] so this will just collect dust in a drawer until my niece throws it away...
