Front Sight for Stainless P.08

tedpark · 09-24-2005, 12:34 AM

Anyone know where to get a replacement front sight at least similar to the "standard" one? Specifically, I wish mine were about a mm taller so my point of aim is where I want. If I can't find a suitable replacement, does anyone know a good way to build this up?

If the front sight matches the specs for the standard front sight, you might find that a P-38 front sight will work for you. They were/are available in different heights, and they are square. For a better sight picture, square up the rear site, or if you want it to look like the original You will have to taper it to an inverted "V"

as far as I know, there are no aftermarket sights or parts in stainless steel for the Stainless P.08 produced by Orimar (Formerly AIMCO, Stoeger, and Mitchell)

Hi:

I know of a firm in Germany that has various height sights for the P-08. They are not stainless, however.

Please PM me for the information.
