Source for Tall Front Sight for '98 Mauser?

[nicholst55]

Brownells no longer carries one, Liberty Tree Collectors is out of stock. Anyone have another source?

I make my own. Piece of mild steel, hacksaw and files, I can turn one out in under an hour.

I don't see anything there that will do what I need, but thanks for the suggestion.

I had the same problem a couple months ago. I purchased the tall '91 mauser front sight from brownell's. It will fit the 98 dovetail and it's tall enough that you'll have to file it down down to zero the rifle. The main differene is that it's a square post instead of triangular. To find it, just search the site for "mauser front sight" hope this helps.

Okay, thanks for the info. I saw that one on Brownells website. Guess I'll order one or two.
