I've never seen pics or real thing in person but it is interesting that this carbine (and presumably others) use the split rear sight base. Mauser made their rifle rear sights single piece, no split. Also soldered on.

No point to be made here; just interesting.

I had noticed Eugen's rear sight base on Ed's carbine was split also, and I had wondered if that was a Eugene-specific modification...
