james-l,
I'm sure many( if not most) are machined, that would be the easiest way to do it with correct tooling on a production basis. For a "one off" modification, drilling and setting a pin in would be the easiest way, IMO.

Mike I'm sure you are right however it looks like a carbine staff will work,they are close to the correct length and have a provision for the spring. main difference as near as I can see is the range markings, the photo in Olsons book is in yards or meters, the military ones I guess are marked in mils. Got one on order, we'll see.

Happy to report that a sight from a 1909 Argentine carbine was a perfect match except for the range markings, even has the correct spring which is different than a rifle sight.

As Physdoc request here are some quick shots of the Mauser type s. One shows the 1909 sight installed on the rifle, it fits perfectly in the cutout on the barrel. Another shows the sight that is installed on the bridge, I doubt that it is original, it is a folding leaf like a Lyman # 16 but has peep blade instead of the normal v notch?
