HK G3 Rear Sight

Bundeswehr G3 Rear Sight

This is the rotary drum rear sight from the HK G3, the standard battle rifle of the German Bundeswehr. It replaces a missing or damaged sight on a G3-pattern rifle, or completes a parts kit build with the correct issue component. Owners of HK91 and PTR-91 rifles, builders and collectors who want original German hardware on their rifle will find it useful.

Features

• Four-Position Rotary Drum — The knurled drum turns through four indexed positions, each marked with an orange-filled numeral from 1 to 4 so the setting reads at a glance.
• Open V-Notch Position — Position 1 is an open notch for close-range shooting, where fast target pickup matters more than precision.
• Diopter Apertures — Positions 2, 3 and 4 are diopters, small peep holes your eye centers through naturally, calibrated for 200, 300 and 400 meters.
• Windage Adjustment — A windage adjustment screw moves the sight left or right for zeroing, the process of matching the sights to where the rifle actually hits.
• Knurled Grip Ring — A diamond-knurled band around the top of the drum gives your fingers purchase when changing range settings, even with gloves on.
• Hardened Steel Clamping Screw — The clamping screw that locks the sight to the mounting base on the rear of the receiver is machined from hardened steel.
• Detent And Spring Included — The rear sight detent and detent spring come with the sight, so the drum clicks positively into each position once installed.
• Bundeswehr Issue — The sight is German Army surplus, originally issued to the Bundeswehr and built to its specification.

Issue And Fitment

The sight was made in Germany to original Bundeswehr specification for the G3 in 7.62 NATO. It fits the G3 and G3-pattern rifles such as the HK91 and PTR-91, mounting to the sight base at the rear of the receiver. Because it is the issued part and not an aftermarket copy, the drum markings, aperture layout and fit match what the rifle was designed around.
