The correct hood is taller than the M96 version. Can anyone help point me in the right direction? Thanks, Sights

The M-41b sniper hood is shorter than the standard M-96 hood . All the M-41b snipers that I have seen come from SAMCO Global , have the standard tall M-96 front sight hood . There are none taller than that . The short ones for the sniper are RARE & hard to find . One sold on Gunboards Swedish Military Forum for $50 recently . That is the only one I can recall being sold in many years . A very few sold on EBAY 5 to 10 years ago . I cannot see to shoot the iron sights anyway , so my sniper looks complete with the M-96 hood . I only use the Ajack scope for shooting .

Can someone advise? Thanksand best regards, Sights

If you have an outhouse , that would be a good place for the pages to be used . Poyer has it backwards , as I stated above . The common M-96 front sight hood is the tall one . The shorter one for the M-41b sniper is RARE & seldom seen for sale . Order a front sight hood from anyone , dealer or private , & you will get a tall one if that is what you want . Cost about $10/$15 . I will sell you a tall one for $15 delivered . Send me a PM for contact info . Don't hold your breath waiting for a short one . I always check the hoods I see at gun shows , as I lucked out & found one about 15 years ago for the price of a tall hood . Good luck !!!!!!!!!!

I may take you up on the sight hood offer. Can you advise some good books on the subject of the Swedish Mauser? Thanks and best regards, Sights
