Need help identifying this metric rear site assy.

**eagle54** · June 30, 2012, 22:33

I just picked up this New metric rear site assy. in some parts i aquired , and to my surprise i went to install it and found out i could not install the Z spring for the rear site screws.. here are two stampings i found on the site assy .. any thoughts on this ?

To me it looks like an Imbel stamp or possibly Belgian stamp, but there is no clearance cut for the Z spring ..

Thanks eagle54

Hi Tgeorgi2002 , Thank You for the response .. are the STG 58 rear sites not machined for the Z spring ?

The few that I have are not.

I think the Belgian mfg'r Stg's had Z spring type bases, but the Steyr mfg'r Stg's did not.

Also the Steyr rear sight screws will be smooth on the shoulder of the screw head NOT having the serration's for the "Z" spring.....hence NO rear sight "CLICKS" the screws are a challenge to find

Which theoretically allows for finer adjustment than the clicks. Very Austrian.

Thanks Guys, for the info .. the rear site did actually come with the screws with the smooth shoulder on the screw head NOT having the serration's . so i made out very well i think
