Replacing rear sight on a Toz 35
I am pretty happy with my Toz35, but one thing I am not that happy about is the rear sight and the lack of possiblity to adjust width. Has anyone any experience with replacing the rear sight with a more modern one?
My Toz 35 M
Benelli Kite Rear Sight
Aperture: turning towards (+) increases the width of the sight: turning towards (–) decreases the width of the sight.
Elevation: turning towards (+) reduces sight aperture elevation; turning towards (–) increases sight aperture elevation
I used Steel epoxy putty stick to glue the rear sight.
On the front i use a Morini front sight.
Have raised the front sight with a piece of aluminum with 8 mm in height.
Works perfectly

Bigger adjustment range? What more do you need? The easy Pardini solution does make the rear sight some 20 "clicks" higher though, the depth can be "adjusted" by inserting sheet metal under the Pardini sight when you screw it on if the need should arise. A Morini rear sight is will cost twice as much but if you already have one............... I have seen a Styer rear sight been used too.Tycho wrote:My dad put a Morini rear sight on his TOZ. Looks incredible, and has a far bigger adjustment range than the Pardini sights I've seen so far.

Re: Replacing rear sight on a Toz 35
I was unhappy with the rear sight AND front sight. The front sight leaned to the left, so I used a mill file to cut down the top of the rear at downward angle to the left.
I didn't like the rear sight either, so I took a 3/16" chain saw file (very cheap) and cut the famed Russian half moon notch.
It all worked very well and was free.

i managed to borrow a pardini rear sight and mounted it on my toz, along with a wider front sight (3.9mm)
the pardini max width is 4.7mm, a tad too small for the new front sight
also it;s much taller and thicker-> the rink grip would not allow it to drop low enough. i would have had to carve out some wood for it to drop lower
so..in the end, i followed Rover's advice and got with the file on one of the replacement toz rear sights
i got it to 5mm width and now it;s perfect for the new front sight (sight picture similar to my P8X)
it also saved me ~150 euros to buy a pardini rear sight
