Mauser 71/84 Front Sight

[Patrick Chadwick]

Remove the blade and peen one or both bottom edges and bang it back in.

Agreed re. peening. NEVER peen the dovetail socket on the rifle. But I would rather press the blade back in than bang it!

TIP:
Many old foresight blades are worn and rounded, giving a very poor sight picture. If you want to shoot it at 100 yards, and need a higher or better blade, please note that 98k blades will fit! Mauser never changed the basic design in almost 100 years!
