Building a 9.3X62mm on a Mauser action with a half octagon/round barrel. The octagon is a gentle taper and transitions to round. Barrel length 23.50". Originally was going to install 1/4 rib .50" width however it covers a large % of the octagon. It's been suggested that I put an island sight on this approx 2.00" long. Anybody got a good picture or reference for this idea. Have not finalized details so open to suggestions on base and number of leaves in sight. Thanks. Ron

Check this out or any one of the NECG rear sights. Most are availbale from Brownell's also.

This is what I made for mine. Bear in mind it isn't finished.

I had a quarter rib built on a half octagon barrel. You can see pictures on this thread.

Hope they help.
