Taller front sight post for Swedish M/38?

[K_Roc]

I am in a bit of a pickle: I purchased a Mojo Micrclick sight for my Swede 38 only to find out that my front sight post, which is marked .50, is too short to sight for over a 25 yard range. It hits bang on at 25 yards, but unfortunately I can only raise the point of impact from there. The only solution I can think of is a longer front sight post. Oh, and I tried the Mojo front aperture and it seems to be exactly the same height as the original front sight post, which I prefer anyway.

So, does anyone know where one might obtain a new front sight post for a Swedish Mauser? I am told that the Swedes themselves made front sight posts in deifferent heights, including one that is .75cm, which I think would be perfect.

Any help is gratefully appreciated!

Hey man, I was going to phone you to show you this:

http://www.tfd.chalmers.se/~m95perm/vapen/eldhandv/div/g_m38.html
"The m/38 front sights are available in 12 different heights, from -2 to +0,75 millimetres in 0,25 millimetre increments."


It's not much help but it confirms that there are original Swede front sights in different heights. Now we need to find some
Apparently Numrich is sold out: http://e-gunparts.com/DisplayAd.asp?chrProductSKU=728710&chrSuperSKU=&MC=

K Roc,
How do you like that Mojo sight? I was thinking of getting one for my K98.

I can get some.
PM me so I'll get more (if anyone else needs them).
I have two sources, and let's hope at least one works.
I postponed this purchase long enough. I need one for my 38 and one for the 96.

Let me know what you need as I might know of a few folks that have a bunch.

Thanks Ty, all I need to know now is what height would be appropriate, or maybe I should just get a few different heights, for down the road.

Steiner, the Mojo sight itself is fantastic, sight picture is a major improvement. I just wish it would work properly with the original front sight post... I find it very surprising in fact that Mojo's front aperture is not the propoer height for my rifle too. Oh well, with a new front sight she willl be a fine shooter.

K Roc,
Thanks for the info. Compared to my other mislurps, my Iseaeli K98 is not much fun to use because the sights seem so poor. Sounds like I'll have to get the Mojo to work some it's magic on this old war pipe. I'll seriously consider getting one now.
