Bought a Husky 640 a few months back with some minor cosmetic scuffs (that buffed right out) as well as a missing piece of the rear sight.

Are risers really specific? Or will most any riser work? I got the gun cheap, I'm having it rebored, so I'd I like to keep the factory set up vs having something like NECG stuff put on at an expense greater than I paid for the gun.

Sure, I'll set up a bar on the mill and make you one for $300. Piece of cake.

are you saying that the riser is missing? or the rear sight?

I'll keep that in mind dpcd lol

Just the riser is missing, sight is still there

What is a riser?

I'll be more than happy to mill a riser for you at the bargin basement price of $299.00 free shipping.

I can't compete with that low of a bid; must be using undocumented child labor.

Don't sweat it Tom.
He's probably one of those whiz-kids that turned his moms food processor into a CNC, programmed it with his IPod, powers it with his gerbil wheel and he's working out of his bedroom.
You just can't compete with that shit!
LOL

Alright, bidding war! Do I hear 299.98?

I am really confused how a riser can be missing and a sight still there? could you give us a picture?

It's the little sliding piece that fits under the rear site and in the notch in the rear sight to hold it at each set height.

Also referred to as a step.

and I've heard it called an "elevator" as well.

Rather than dealing with the comedians that don't know what you are talking about you might look at sarco, and a few other parts sites that have Swede parts by the jillions.

I wish guys would whip out their cell phone and snap a picture with their questions!

Oh, you want a rear sight elevator. There are 10 million different lengths and widths. Take a micrometer and measure the width and length that you need. If it's old and European it will probably be narrow and short and any old Winchester/Cooey 22RF elevator will work for $9.95. If it's more modern and longer and wider, probably a current Winchester 94 elevator will work for $19.95.

Just so you know. This is a sight riser.

Sight Riser Block by Rod Henrickson, on Flickr

Here's pictures of my Husqvarna 640 9.3x62 rear sight and elevator.

0.078 Thick
1.356 Long
0.078 Lowest notch
0.107 Second notch
0.139 Third notch
0.170 Forth notch
0.260 Hump

OH, OK... i was thinking the milled block that the rear sight dove tails into on some husqvarnas.

Winchester calls them Elevators; Anything that fits it there will work; those things aren't actually calibrated for any range; and you aren't going to use the sight anyway. Numrich has them.

he's not ? if he's not going to use it why would he ask ?

Found in my box of sight parts:

Just find a piece of flat mild steel of close to the right width, file it to fit and to where point of aim equals point of impact at the ranges you want, then polish and blue it.

Back once in the dim reaches of time ( when I was much younger )
I was approached by a HVA collector to reproduce some of those sights.

This thread made me dig thru my old tooling and AHA


How many of those old HVA rear sight elevators do you need ?
I have 15 of them on hand, all blued and ready to ship.

As well as two blued complete rear sights with elevators.


PM me if you are interrested.

Oh My, it appears I have killed another thread.

No activy in 10 days and no PM's about the elevators, that will be about $ 8 a peice
