info needed Mauser K98k handguard band

Yes they are soldered on. First you have to remove the front sight post from the barrel, also soldered on and held in place by a set screw. Set Screw is under the sight blade.

The barrel should have a small hole at the back end of where the sight rests against the barrel step. The screw that goes into the sight (buggered hole in pic) has a dog point and locates in that hole (sorry no barrel pic).
