Just grabbed a Brazilian Mauser in CLOSE to stock form. The barrel is not original,it's now a 308 Winchester but it is a military contour and has had the original sights put on and the hand guard is there too.
Stock is pretty nasty but it'll clean up. The gentleman I got it from says its been test fired by the gunsmith that installed the barrel but other than that, it's never been fired.
This one will never see a copper condom.
Anywho, I can't see them dam sights for the life of me. That tiny little v notch may as well be a subatomic particle to these eyes. What are some good options that don't involve drilling and tapping? None of those goofy 'no gunsmithing' scope mounts either. I hate those.
I see a company called mojo makes a ghost ring rear. I imagine there ain't much by way of current manufacture but back in the day, there was a world of Mauser options. I don't have a problem tracking some older stuff down if I knew what to look for.
I have access to a decent pistol scope I may end up doing a scout set up.
Ideas?
