Imman Meffert Suhl rifle in 8.15x46R

[jirik7]

Hei!

 

I bought an old target rifle last fall.

Markings say Imman Meffert Sulh. Proofed for black powder only and chambered in 8.15x46R.

Chambering is not marked but I made cerrosafe casting of the chamber and 8.15 it is.

 

I plan to compete in nordic black powder shooting event where aperture sights are allowed. Match is 13 rounds fired, prone at 100m.

Rifle has aperture rear sight but no front tunnel.

 

I uploaded photos of the rifle to dropbox:

(Will upload more photos as I find them)

 

Does anyone have photos on what type front sight tunnels and inserts/sights in the tunnels were used?

I'll try to find a period correct tunnel, or make one if possible.
