Kyrie,

You might want to borrow a K98k to see what it's sight actually looks like. The sight shown is approximately half as long as a K98k sight, and the graduations on a K98k sight start with a 1 on the left side, 2 on the right side, 3 on the left side and so on without skipping any numbers right up to the 20. The two zeroes are left off the K98k sight but represent from 100 to 2000 meters. The sight pictured on ebay starts with a 2 on the left side and a 5 immediately opposite it, for 25 meters. The next mark is a 5 on the left side and a 0 on the right side for 50 meters, and so on with graduations for 100, 125, 150, 175, and 200 meters. Next, the K98k sight will raise straight up so the graduations on the backside of the sight can be seen. The sight pictured will only raise to the 200 meter mark as the pivot pin is in the wrong position to allow the sight to be raised straight up. The K98k sight base has a screw hole which can be seen with the sight laying flat, which the rear sight shown lacks. Also the dimensions given will not fit a K98k barrel.

Hope this helps,

Johnny
