Again! Reproduction Mauser Type A Express sights!!!

Click on the pics and addresses below to see the full pictures. I’m looking at having sights and sleeve bases made.

These are from an Oberndorf Type A take-off barrel in 9.3x62. I made a post a year ago asking who might be interested in a set of these if I could find someone to make a run of them. Well, now I have a set to copy.

The sights are going in the mail tomorrow to a fellow who has experience making sights. If you want one, let me know. If enough folks show GENUINE interest, and the sights can be made at a reasonable price, then this just might happen. To the best of my knowledge, these particular sights haven’t been made since before we bombed the Oberndorf factory.

As most of you know, DPCD has been making runs of Type A contour barrels the last couple years. I have two Gottfried Prechtl reproduction Oberndorf banded ramp front sights on order through Steve Bertram. One is 17mm and originally for 404 Jeff/10.75x68 (about 0.667” muzzle diameter) but should work for barrels up to .458” bore (DPCD has recently been doing 400 Whelens ). The other is 15mm (about .588” muzzle diameter) I had an 8x60 Oberndorf take-off barrel with this same size sight and muzzle diameter, and both the 9.3x62 take off barrel and my original 1939 Type A 9.3x62 have this size sight/muzzle diameter. These are currently the only two sizes that Gorrfried Prechtl advertises.
