Walther Rear-sight Modification

Post by GolfShot »

Could somebody please guide me on how to remove the left-hand windage adjustment knob on an Walther Inside-Out Rear-sight.

What im trying to achieve is the same as the Grunig & Elmiger Grand Prix Rear-sight.

The reason behind this is that it will allow better visibility of the windflags once in position.

Ive attached an image which demonstrates it clearly.

You might start with an exploded diagram. See here on Walther's website: https://carl-walther.com/sport/products/p/2825074

It looks like the left hand turret is connected onto the axle by a nut. However, but if you remove the turret the axle will be loose. If you don't have the capacity to make some low-profile spacer to replace the turret I would not carry on.

Could you not trade the Insight-Out sight for something narrower like a Centra Spy?

Ive had a look at the exploded diagram but cant figure out how to remove the plastic cap on the knob. Cant seem to find how its being hold on.
