Can someone make me a taller front sight?

[lavgrunt]

Hello,

I have a French BERTHIER rifle that shoots way high at 100 yards. The front sight is very short and I am maxed out on elevation on my rear sight.

Any recommendations on someone machining a taller front sight ???

Merci !!!

Stupid easy fix, if you want permanent then keep asking...

Coffee stir placed over post and trimmed to length, bang.

Send me a closeup picture of the front sight. I maybe able to help.

It's a french gun those went ment to be shot only surrendered. . . Jk

How far are you off? What ammo? Is your grouping still good at 100 yards still being shot high?

Wait a second...

"The front sight is very short and I am maxed out on elevation on my rear sight."

Your rear sight should be at lowest elevation not maxed out.

That.

+1 Maybe he means he's all the way down in the rear...

Sorry, Guys......Been swamped at work lately.

Yes, I cant go any lower on the rear sight. My only option is a taller front sight. Looks like an easy piece to reproduce with the proper tooling and know-how.

Similar, I fashioned a small V shaped piece of sheet metal (could use plastic I suppose) and epoxied it on top of the front sight, then filed to match the contour and height requirement. Most military mausers have the same problem--250/300 yd zero.

The term JB Weld comes to mind..

A picture of front sight would help with making suggestions for a possible fix.
