madmax1299 Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 Anyone have or know where to get cheep mp40 rear sight? I prefer a matching original, but I am open to options even its it a repo sight, Thanks! Also what do people recommend for attaching the rear sight? If someone comes up with an original I would not want to damage it as much as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeRanger Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 Don't know if this is the same or not. It can't hurt to call and ask https://www.dkproductiongroup.com/product/bd38-back-sight/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSMGguy Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 Original MP40 rear sight bases were spot welded to the receiver. MP38 rear sight bases had screws. The MP38 receiver was much thicker in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGTedFL Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 FWIW, I have a MP40 rear sight that appears to have two spot-welds, where it was removed from the tube. My MP38 sight has two countersunk screw holes for mounting. Agree that mounting a rear sight to a milled receiver like the MP38 is different than mounting to a rolled, crimped and spotwelded MP40 tube.

Spot welded, judging by what can be seen on the inside of the receiver on my all matching bnz 41 MP40. I've noticed no evidence of soldering anywhere on the gun.

Photo of MP38 rear sight on the left appears to show signs of soldering. MP40 rear sight on the right. Notice that the receiver failed before the spot welds did.
