Can anyone tell me about this peep sight on this mauser 98k? And maybe what as done for it to accept the peep sight. Thanks guys

Look on the slide itself on the right side of the rifle just in front of the bolt. There should be something there, logo, etc
Post a photo if you can.
It was common to drill and tap the receiver to accept that style of peep sight.
There are many commercially made rifles with 98 actions were made with the drilling already done.

Im actually waiting the rifle to be delivered. I bought it and was just curious about the sight, particularly the possibly ways people mount its unfortunately i have anymore pictures of the sight itself until I get the rifle

I've never seen anything like that, but it looks like its very nice, easily adjustable, probably threaded for Lyman or Williams Aperatures.

maybe a early redfield sight. it will be slow to readjust, but once you do it should be solid.

Thanks guys. The gun has been sport aroused which is what i wanted. I guess I could read up on mounting a peep sight to a mauser , but is that something that's typically an option. Like is it commonly done to rifles that are not going to be kept in factory condition

I did wonder about that, but thought it safer not to ask
