Anyone make a four leaf rear sight like those found on Type "A" Oberndorf sporters? Recknagle only makes up to a three leaf rear sight, and their rear sight base is extremely tall/thick.

If I remember correctly, the Rechnagel ones are listed as three leaf but one is stationery and three folding, I think!! Jim Kobe 10841 Oxborough Ave So Bloomington MN 55437 952.884.6031 Professional member American Custom Gunmakers Guild | |||

Sarco sells the surplus Interarms Whitworth sights; 3 leaves total; I got a box of them. Recknagel makes three folding and one standing. I can not find anyone making four leaf sights nowadays. | |||

You might consider taking a mill to the vertical face of the rear (standing) leaf. Making it thinner will also shorten its height. A hand mill works as well as any other, you will just need to be a bit more careful with it. (Hand mill = File) As with most makes you have to file the notches anyway, to regulate them for the distances you choose, its just one more bit of the same work. | |||

How will that help; what we want is a sight with 4 folder and one standing leaf like the Mauser type A. | |||

You may want to look at the classified (firearms). There is a 416 Rigby being sold that has four folding leafs. Sounds like a custom rifle and maybe the seller (Jens Poulsen) knows where the sight came from. | |||
