Finnish rear sight

Finnish M91 Mosin Nagant Rear Sight Leaf & Slide*|*e-GunParts.com

Will this really fit on m91/30s?
This would be a HUGE improvement over the Russian sight.

Rare version manufactured by the Finnish Army for attachment to captured and re-worked Russian M91 and 91/30 rifles. Identified by a flat windage plate attached to the front of the leaf by two screws
Says it should fit 91/30's

Might be a while. The closest range to me (which isn't really close) is closed for the winter.

It looks like an M27 rear sight with those two screws in it. One way to find out though. Hopefully the description is not misleading.

I was just looking at this and it by the looks of the m28, there is no way this will fit on a m91/30...

It did, and I tried to put it on a 91/30, but it just doesn't quite fit. Since I have the mechanical aptitude of a rotten orange, I will have to have my gunsmith try to fit it on.
