M39 rear sight

[kowalski]

My m39 from classic came with a somewhat bent rear sight..

^has the entire rear sight ladder for $16, I only really need the small shallow v section that is held onto the ladder with two small screws.

Anyone know of any shops that carry this part?

Thanks

Ok 2meterB, who is this guy you speak of? I am always interested in "cheap and way better"...

Two things to be aware of:

1) changing out the rear plate is not always easy. Sometimes the screws are stuck like a mo-fo and other times they come right out. $16 is way easier than
dealing with a screw that won't budge, or at least check the screws before trying to replace the plate.

2) The aperture sight 2MeterB mentioned is a nice sight, but it is not legal for Vintage rifle matches, if you plan to shoot them.

Good luck!!

Already checked, both screws can be removed with my thumbnail.
