Recently, I wanted to improve my Mauser to include a peep sight. It took much damage while in the care of the gunsmith. At this point, my options seem to be
1. Re-build it to the original form
2. Re-build it to the intended form
3. Try to get it replaced by the smith (preferred...though I don't think he has any M48s in stock, only M48A and VZ24)
If I go with #2, would it be even possible to install peep sights which wouldn't block the clip guide? Would Williams sights be more compact? would they fit in the same receiver holes?)
In general, I am looking for suggestions of what that action and barrel can be used for, provided that the results would have either peep sights or scope and the original v-notch sight and still feed from clips. The overall cost has to be reasonable.
