Got some work done on the rear sight base today...Cut the reverse dovetails; made sure it would be a tight fit; and hogged out the sight cavity...

...and cut the slot for the C96 Mauser rear sight axle with a keyway cutter...Fits real good!

Need to locate the axle pivot holes and then mill the "slope" for the slider...I was thinking of shortening the C96 sight, but I think I'll leave it as is...If I have to, I'll mill a crescent in the bottom of the leaf to fit snug over the receiver (instead of notching the receiver)...

Heh...A 1000 meter Luger sight...

Got the rear sight base fit today; also fit the C96 rear sight to it...

Not too bad...I think I can guarantee some fistfights at the next ESACA gun show...
