Finnish M39 Peep sight

[sail32]

I am looking for a Finnish M39 peep sight.

The rear peep sight replaces the " V " notch on the rear sight and a new, higher front sight comes with it.

The sight set is discussed on old US forums.

Did any make it to Canada and does anyone have one set for sale ?

Thanks.

It's a military surplus collectible. Learn to shoot it as it is.

I can shoot as it is.

But the eyes need assistance.

Ei, kivääri on kunnossa, perkele. Leave it alone.

The change is not permanent the front is switched for a taller sight, and the rear v-notch is switched out for a peep sight.

The original v-sight is attached to the rear sight by 2 screws.

The M39 ends up with a temporary peep sight system similar to the Japanese Arisaka Type 99 .

Madsen M47 danish bolt action is another rifle that uses a sight system similar to the Japanese Type 99.

Mojo?

I looked at the Mojo's but I want to keep modifications minimal.

Mojo makes a rear sight conversion designed to work with the standard front sight, but there's no dammed importer. You'd figure someone would want to carry a line of sights that allows an easy and reversible conversion (take out the existing sight, per the factory procedure, replace it with the Mojo - no drilling, tapping or other heathen sacrifice) to a proper, usable, sight for Vz's/SKS/Mosin/Lee/Mauser/Swiss etc. for the over 50 set. Apparently not.
