I have a set of RCBS dies in this round, but no '91 to be found

Can someone give me a link to where I can get a higher front sight to get it on target?

Gun Parts Co. used to sell a tall front sight blade that could be file-fitted to zero the Mausers with a 300 yard battle sight. I've always simply TIG welded a little material onto a standard front sight blade and filed it to whatever minimum range zero I wanted.

thanks. I had seen that before but calling it a 91 threw me off.

I remember seeing racks full of pristine 1909s at Montgomery Wards in 1961 or so. $35.00 IIRC. I was in 9th grade and $35 was a lot of money for a teenager back then.

Sears also sold milsurps back in the day. Always had the hots for an Enfield jungle carbine, never could afford one.

Just drop the front sight down flush with the bottom of the rear notch. That's your hundred yard zero. I won a match with my Swede with that trick. My (Swedish) neighbor learned it in their army.
