050806101524 Front Sight BlankA FEW MINUTES OF FILING 25/08/2017
Took about 20 minutes with a couple files and was good to go. Fit my Yugoslavian m24/47 but had to take .020" off the bottom with a flat course file and I used my triangle shaped file on the dove tails to get those to fit my base. It's about .200" taller than the one that was on it so hopefully I'll get the impact where it should be. Not a foot high at 100 yards. Just remember it's made big so you or your gunsmith can fit it to your rifle.
Front sight replace in my Mitchell mause 16/04/2017
My Mauser was shooting high. I bought brownels front sight and used a set of needle files. The sides of the dovetail were steeper than that of the front sight so I filed to fit. Be careful how much you take off the sight it needs to fit tight. I used my micrometer. I was able t fit it well and shot at the range. Of course it shot very low so I filed the top of blade and made fast adjustments. I got it shooting dead on and it is better than the factory sight. I wish there was a rear replacement as the Mauser rear is a bit junky. This replacement blade is all you need and will work fine on any Mauser that I can imagine. some fitting will be required becausethere is too much variation from Mauser to Mauser. By it you will be happy have a smith place it if you can't. This is a very good product I'm glad I bought it.
