Front sight DSM 34 mauser vs K98K

[pierrickfaure]

Hello,


I was wondering if the front sight of a Mauser 98K can be mounted on a Mauser DSM 34 ?

Also does someone tried a front sight adjustement tool for 98k on a DSM34 ? Like this one

Thank a lot

The short answer is probably.

I measured the dovetail tip to tip at the ends on my Gustloff DSM 34 at .208" and .212" front sight blade dovetail. Note that there is a slight taper to the dovetail.

A sample of 5 98k sights measure between .208"-218." So fit of the dovetail will depend on the individual parts due to machining variations.

The height of the 98k sample sight blades are about the same as the DSM 34 with some variation of a few thousandths.


So, requires some "trial and error."

Generally speaking, as GEM said, yes, they take a standard Mauser front sight.

Fitting may be required as noted.

the tool you linked can work OK on K98k front sights, I’ve used the type with success.

The tool shown should work also on a KKW but the DSM uses a lower sight ramp and I can’t see it working on the DSM. Screws wouldn’t be at the right height. Photo should show the difference in height of the ramps.

Curiosity prompted me to measure a few DSM sight heights of different rifles, to regulate the rifles POI they varied about 0.060” or about 1.5mm.

Thank everyone for the reply !

I will try to buy a 98k front sight and test to mount it on my DSM34

I will let you know
