I am trying to find a complete rear sight for a Mauser project I am doing. I need the complete sight, base, and sleeve. I need it to be like the ones in the photos below. They are the type that have the handguard retainer ring on the front of the base. I also need it to be in really good condition.

I am also in need of a set of hinged 1909 Argentine bottom metal.

I have tried Ebay and Numrich and have not had any luck. Numrich may have the right one but I am not sure exactly which sight it is listed as. If you have anything available or know where I can find them please let me know. I can be reached via PM here ir through email at the address below.

PM me pls. I've got one from a Mauser....very similar to your picture...ID of the sleeve .765. Guadations on the left 4-20 and on the right 3-19. Solders in place...don't have the little screw otherwise complete.Can't remember what model its off.

hey bill. i don't have a complete sight but i do have "the little screw" that's missing from rgg_7's sight. i also have a sight ladder marked in farsi if that's of any use. also i have these, a pair of detachable sling swivels and a front sight protector.



your welcome to it all if you want it.

Bill, If you cant find the Argy bottom metal, Portuguese Verguiero bottom metal is very similar.

Got a nice one.PM me at duane@customgunandrifle.com

Nearly identical except for the locking screws and the pad on the floorplate release. However, even more scarce than 1909 bottom metal.

I know there were less made but its not all that commonly known about the interchangeability. I got 2 from a guy in Australia a couple of years ago on the cheap. It seemed that he had a pile of these and I cant remember the name or contact info.

William Bill that sight in your photo is not the correct sight for your Argie project. It is a K98K rear sight NOT a 1909 Argie rear sight. I will look & see If I have an Argie rear sight & let you know.

My project is a Mauser Standard Modell not a 1909. The rifle in the photo is an original Standard Modell and it is the correct sight for the rifle. The hinged bottom is just to dress it up a bit.

RGR that.
