Original Mauser's front sight is not dovetail installed. It's an integral part of the barrel. I had a Bolo coming from South Africa having reworked front sight. The way that one implemented was uneasy for me (at least, not matching my taste). Without TIG welding, it's impossible to restore it. TIG on an otherwise fine gun?? no, no. That Bolo with matching stock was sold to a member in Jan's forum two years ago. If I had restored it, the story would be different.
