G'day there, I don't come here much since I know very little about Mausers, but I quite like them.

This M96 I have been looking at is a bit mismatched but quite nice anyway, but the real issue is that its front sight blade is very very loose in the dovetail. As in, you can move it side to side, remove, and replace it with only your hands. Completely useless for any kind of shooting.

I am going to have a look at its blade compared to my other M96's to see if maybe it is a repro or something. I was thinking of just getting it centred then centre punching it to the dovetail and adjusting for windage afterwards.

Any help will be appreciated.
