Is the rear sight on this rifle complete? Its stamings say 1924 Oveido and the barrel is about 20 1/2 inches long. The sight rolls back 90 degrees offering a second sight

I would say those are complete, I have a Spanish FR 8 and the sites have 4 aperatures. 25yds (or meters) 50 yds and 100yds, these are all guesses the 4th one is the "freaking out there." It's the biggest aperature I have ever seen on any rifle.

The FR 8 is a Mauser action rebuilt and barreled in 308. I shoot a lot of cast bullets in and have take many ground hogs with it. Some day I may figure out how to other sites on it.
