Your M46 has a front sight that is dovetailed lengthwise not cross wise as is the M96. That sight blade will not work.

What about the one in the above link?

Or below:

That will work on a 96, not an M46. That's the sight I was referring to. If you have the right dovetail cutter, you can cut a dovetail in the base, then install that sight. NECG makes these inserts that can be made to work on the M46.

the following can be fitted to the narrow Mauser style dovetail:

After examination of my M46 front sight you are correct and the recommendation provided above at first looks like an exact match. Thankyou for this recommendation. These beaded sights are a 100x better than that flat blade type I was considering earlier

They are set to 300 meters minimum. A doe told us that the day we kept shooting over her back. Actually my Swede neighbor said in their army you just drop the front sight down to the bottom of the notch (fine bead). That's your 100 yard setting. Hit every time.
