info needed Mauser K98k handguard band

Hi Peter, that is an excellent assessment! I've come to the same conclusion with a little research and friendly advice for those like yourself, that know! Thank you! I now, at least, have some direction.
My nent course of action will be the get the correct Nazi rear sight assembly, remove the VZ one, and I guess, solder on the right one?
Not sure if it is something I want to do? None of my elves or hobbits have ever attempted it, ....so far??? More to be done.. time will tell... Thanks again Peter, best to you, til....lat'r....GT..

Obviously you've been aroud the block with these K98k's. So, one last question, if you replace the rear sight assembly, I guess they are soldered on, what do they use to index the sleve on the barrel for perfect alignment when installing a new correct sleeve?... Thanks, best, til....lat'r....GT..
