Replacing rear sight on a Toz 35

Post by TB »

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?

Pardini Rear Sight, with adjustable window.
Simply drop in, with 2 mm screw.
Pardini is higher than original one.

You need longer 2 mm screws! There is two other options. Screw it on a new made sight blade (the holes does not line up on an original, slightly offset) with the original Pardini sight blade screws OR glue it on a original TOZ blade. I did the latter. Works fine.

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.

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

LukeP:Can the depth of the window also be changed with the Pardini solution?

Tycho: Can you get a picture? How did your dad fix it on the TOZ and is the depth of the window also adjustable?

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.

Thanks' for all your answars.

One more question, are all Pardini rear sights the same (SP, HP, LP and FP) will they all fit the TOZ?

The Pardini SP rear sight (part no. 732-13) will cost me €62, it may not be cheap but fairly resonable for an upgrade like this i guess...

Awesome info, may I ask which rear sight unit:

Rear sight from the Free Pistol or Standard Pistol?

Thank you

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
