That's it.

Hi Glenn, you can get a rear sight from here for $90:

I lack an MG42 for my collection but it is something I intend to put right.

Cheers, Ade.

[Glenn McInnes]

Thanks Ade,

I have this piece so I guess I would need 006 from that list.

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Glenn, yes that is the bit you lack. (006)

Your gun was made in 1943.

Cheers, Ade.

[Glenn McInnes]

Thanks again Ade,I assume that the main mounting bracket for the sight needs to be riveted to the top through the holes.



Best,

Glenn

[Adrian Stevenson]

Yes, that is how it would be fitted if I recall correctly.

Cheers, Ade.
