Wider rear sight for Walther GSP

[Morini162]

I have been shooting a Walther GSP for 43 years.
It came with 3 rear sight blades but with increasing age I find i need a wider rear sight than even the No 8.
The blade fits into the rear sight base which has a notch itself.
I think the option would be to make a new wider rear blade and fix it so that it covers the notch on the base.
This will increase the elevation but I think that can be compensated for by adjusting the rear sight itself.

Would appreciate any thoughts.

I just took the blades off and use the notch in the rear sight.

Fix it yourself. Take the smallest blade (most useless) and open it with a Swiss file. You really can't screw up.

MY preferred method would be to take a 3/16" chainsaw file (very cheap at the hardware store) and file a
half-moon notch. It's REALLY hard to screw it up. The Russians were very successful with this. I like it a lot.

I've thought about trying something along those lines myself. My Toz-35 came with the full sight set, including half-moon rear sight blades. And I find that I shoot muzzle-loaders with V and U notches better than a Patridge sight.
