Need a favor please.

I need to know the diameter measurements of the mauser 98 original stepped barrels front reamped sight band ID and OD. I am wondering if a nicer mauser 98 front sight band/ramp will fit my 1916 spaniards front stepped area. Mine is 0.610 I.D and 0.685 O.D and .435 long I have a useable area that is just under an inch long but my sight band only spans half the distance and do not look right to me. I see several nice ramped front sights for 98's and I could just unsolder my existing short spanish style and solder the longer one on if they are close enough to make it fit.



Something like this: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=141195886


both the fellas that I asked who were selling the prospective part had no way of measuring........................:roll:

thank you,
Michael

Measurements of a front sight band on a spare 98 masure barrel is .690 OD and the barrel OD either side of the sight band is .609.

I do have a spare front sight band that I believe came off an odd mauser barrel that measures .600 OD and approximately .520 ID.
