prepare to file

The paperwork says minor fitting may be necessary. Thats an understatement. Will not even come close to fitting K98, M48, M24/47 Mausers. I have all three and this sight is nowhere close to fitting without major modifications. The dove tail angle is incorrect, its too thick, too long and too wide. It doesnt even fit the specs that Brownells publishes. 4.5 hours with a file and i am still trying to get the thing to fit. i see all these good reviews, i guess i am the lucky one that got the lemon.
