I would guess that he would be as likely as anyone local to have one. Honestly that specific a part for a classic, screams internet. @Velzey might have one though. Could check with him.

Point being that parts are sometimes found at gun shows but it's a mixed bag what's going to be at any given show. Local shops you just have to look.

Kurt Mueller at H&K Gun Shop is one of the Last of the Mohicans when it comes to sporterizing Mausers.
Good excuse to visit Yamhill/Washington county wine country and visit his shop in Forest Grove.
Easy trip to the coast via Hwy 6 or Hwy 26 from there.

I bought a rifle from him a few months ago, and when he took my name down, he didn't seem to flinch.
So apparently he's OK with Leprechauns, as well.

I have one laying on my bench as I type this, just have not put it away.

Why do you keep saying "Yoojeen"? Do you not know how to spell Eugene?

I think it's Eugene in the Gaelic tongue.
Yoojeen was a great Celtic warrior.

Why yes he is, other than Velzey giving him some competition. These days we are doing allot of unrestorations!
Anyhow I have a couple 5.0mm height and 5.3mm, I also have a altoid tin here somewhere with about 25 others in it

 

[DirectDrive]

Nice.
I imagine that those represent custom sporters built over the years where a new barrel is used and the old sight blades are recovered ?

So there are 2 Mohicans left.

For the same reason that folks spell Oregon as 'Orgun' and folks spell Florence as 'Florntz'.

Does it offend you?

Please, if it does, ignore it.

There are much bigger issues around to get your PIAW.

PS - not sure where all this leprechaun stuff is coming from, mind. I'm only half Irish.

Thanks, Velzey - I'm contacting Pete now to ax him what particular height he has in mind, and I'll let you know.

Best

Oh.

Then you're only half a leprechaun.

Hence my tagline on another well-known forum - 'half-genius, half-wit'.

Yeah, literally nobody does that.
