I love Mausers but the sights on a Kar98k are probably the worst iron sights I've ever used on a rifle. Without ruining its collection value I went to find a fix that'll be better for my bad eyes. I came to the conclusion of getting a pair of Mojo Signts for the Kar98k nicknamed G98MCSS.

My original plan was to just use the Mojo rear sight and keep the stock front sight. I'm a fan of peep sights where it's circular on the rear and not on the front. Sadly the Mojo Sights for the Kar98K are meant to be used as aperture sights which is two circles that you line up, which I do not enjoy. I contacted Mojo Sights and they said the stock front sight is just too short to work with the rear Mojo sight. To avoid having to use aperture sights, would it be possible to order one of those Brownells front sights that are taller on purpose and file it down to work with the Mojo rear sight?

If this wouldn't work, are aperture sights really that bad? I just couldn't see how you'd use them accurately without a clear point to aim on the target.. I'd feel like you're guessing where the exact middle is. No way they'd be able to be used for longer range shooting right?
