Holland and Holland Aperture sight windage adjustment

Frederik, are you going to have the front sight replaced? It being bent to the left isn't helping matters.

@Scrumbag That is exactly what I am contemplating doing, I would love the sight that comes with the cocking piece from Prechtl-Waffen, but it doesn't look like they sell to the public.
I think it might be easier to buy it from John and look for an old Turkish Mauser with the longer cocking piece and have it fitted to that.

I don't know if John sells his sights with cocking pieces.

Cheers

@Shootist43 I have a spare one in the grip cap trap, its a bit finer but it will work

@Frederik Badenhorst , sorry for the slow reply my friend.

He prefers to send to a gunsmith as the new longer cocking piece needs fitting with the sear / safety and he doesn't want to sell something that might go off. Herr Prechtl is quite helpful though.

This is the cocking piece sight on my FN Commercial 9.3x62

And the rifle in entirity

The red dot option might work for you as doesn't need any alteration to the rifle if you have a dovetail on your barrel for an iron sight.

@Scrumbag Thanks for the info! If I may ask, how much would a Prechtl peep sight like that cost?

Hi Frederik, I think about €300 but I did buy it a couple of years ago so I could be wrong. Do email Prechtl, I found them to be helpful.
