I picked up a nicely sporterized Moisin Nagant M44 that is missing the rear sight. There is a dovetail cut for a sporting rear sight......but the dovetail is .470. I have a bunch sights for 3/8s dovetails But have no idea where one can order something for this larger dt. Anyone know of a source or know of a factory rifle that used that size so that I could order one?

Thanks for all the views. I didn't find a .470 dovetail rear sight..... but I did find an oddball with a .700 wide base. There being multiple methods for flaying felines I re-cut the dovetail and problem is solved.
