Front sight
It's about the only choice for being able to shoot the Mauser at range distances. Nothing wrong with it. The quality is good.

Dissapointed
I found this item to be somewhat irritating simply because the dovetail angle is incorrect, on my 1915 M-96 Swedish Mauser. The angle is not as steep as the factory dovetail cutout, and this causes you to have to reshape the angle. I don't mind flling/sanding; but the angle should match the Factory cutout...it does not.
