I bought a K98icon today in the gun store where I work. It's an all-matching gun that's in super-nice condition, The only thing wrong with it is that the rear sight mount (the tubular part that is usually soldered to the barrel) has got some serious dings in it, and the holes for the pin that hold the sight leaf on have been drilled out and totally screwed up.
I see that Numrich Gun Parts has the complete rear sight for about $25, but from what I can see, the parts look really cruddy.....lots of rust, no blue left, etc.
I'd like to find a gunsmith who specializes in K98s who can restore or replace the rear sight mount in such a way that the work would be as close to undetectable as possible.
Anybody here know anyone who might be able to do this work for me?
