Side project I'm working on. Trying to keep them authentic looking. Front sight is finished. The post is SCS-able and I've made a blitzkrieg style alternate post as well. Commercially available posts are not interchangeable as I had to move the M3 slot down a few mm.

The rear sight poses more of a challenge. Drum is functional and is basically the same design that the MP22 build uses but I'm still figuring out how to make windage adjustable as there is not a lot of material there to work with. HK sells the bolts individually for these adjustments but $5 each. May try some heat-serts and some set screws to achieve the same result while not forking over $20 minimum for two bolts. For now I'm using a fixed version of the rear sight with the rotating drum.

@FoapsFiles@forum.guncadindex.com

https://odysee.com/@theOtherSig:a/hk_sights_at_home:f This is a similar project. Maybe you can use something from him to improve your version and finally release it?

I've taken a look at those. It looks like only the front sight is adjustable, so its completely opposite to what I am making.

no, both are adjustable. Front + Back. I have printed it out now and it works fine. But i still want to test your version too. :)

The rear sight on the one you linked is not adjustable for windage and elevation. Only the front. So, as I said, opposite of what I'm going for. The front sight for mine is fixed and the rear will have the adjustability to mimic HKs design.
