The sights are typical patridge sights, with elevation from 300 to 600 meters.

The battlefield zero is 300 yards, so it will shoot high at 100 yards.

The front sight is surprisingly wide compared to other military rifles, but it works well.

The bolt has the straight bolt handle,

and is massive for this cartridge.

I have seen a lot of these old rifles at gun shows and always noticed that the barrels had threads on the end of the barrel, in front of the sights.

Some rifles had a small screw-on cover on these threads and some were just left bare.

My rifle has a flash suppressor screwed on the end.

Some friends on AR15.com advised me that the threads were to allow the use of a "shredder" to be used along with some blanks loaded with wooden bullets. The designers were worried that the wooden bullets in the blanks might harm other soldiers when fired, so they designed a shredder to break up the wooden bullets.

When these rifles were imported to the USA, someone designed this flash suppressor to cover the threads and make the rifle "look better". Other than that, it doesn't really do much, as the recoil from the 6.5 X 55 is not very harsh and the powder burns well in that long barrel.
