Thank you can’t wait to get it all cleaned up, has a lot of old dried up oil has t seen use in awhile. Going to get it hunting again. The only thing I can find not original is the rear sight. Would the correct rear sight be the Winchester 22g with 3c elevator or would it be a 22k I have read different things about overlap in 1954. This rifle would be early 1954 I believe.
The correct rear sight for your gun can be determined by measuring the overall total height of the front sight….bottom of the dovetail to the very top.
- 103C front sight is .310 h and uses the 22G
- 103E front sight is .360 h and uses the low height 22K
The 22G and 22K are commonly misidentified by sellers as they are basically identical and differ only in the height of their respective sheet metal slides. The slide for the 22G is .340 h, that for the 22K is .315 h.
Should note that the 22K was standard on the M43 and the 22G was the ubiquitous rear sight on a million or so M94’s.
Neither rear sight will fit with the scope currently on the gun, very likely the reason the original was removed.
