At rimfirecentral.com, a suggestion was to come here. I have a problem with
getting my anschutz match set sights fitting on a rifle from Heritage Arms/ Naples Florida.
Walther has so many different models...not sure if KKM is proper designation.
On the receiver it says CarlWalther. Sportwaffenfabrik
Serial number: 008,818
Came without any sights...rear or front.

The front sight is too high for the rear sight. I could get a riser block..will this work? If so, will it fit properly on the rear
and it will be the correct height? Only so much play in the anschutz rear sight. I want it to be able to sight up to 100 yards.
Currently, the front sight does fit snugly. The seller asked me to send the anschutz set to them to determine if it will work...Hard for
me to comprehend as to how they said "no problem." Rear is wedged on and really too long. Front needed some polishing. My guess is that a 4mm high riser
block would work...but only a guess and not sure who sells this for a reasonable price...though I just did see an ebay source from UK.
Any feedback on the rifle, in general, and in particular about what to do with having an aperture sight work.
Been to the range once.
Shot Standard K and Aquilla rounds at 25 yards...not very impressed. Suspect that I need much more expensive ammo. Craning my neck
to get the rear and front to line up discouraged me from shooting very much. No doubt, bore needs seasoning as the first step.
Ultimately, I want to shoot this prone and mostly off hand. Not gonna bench rest as long as my body can handle it. Eyes on the cusp.
Hence, need for aperture. Rx glasses don't help. If this rifle ends up shooting well...may go to a low power scope.
Well, that's my story
and always like to hear feedback from the more experienced walther small bore owners.
The seller keeps telling me that they expect to get
a shipment in of walther sights...which for some unknown reason got separated from a large shipment of walther rifles. So far, my cost including
shipping and misc is about 350. 00. This is my second one from them. The first one had a great trigger...hated sending it back but the rifle should
never have been sold since the chamber had too much head space resulting in a slight bubble in the cartridge. Seller makes it sound like they are
anxious to please and MAYBE(?) doing me a favor by replacing it with this one. My sense is that the Walther rifles are getting dumped here with much
more demand for the vintage anschutz rifles where parts are still available. What I like about the walther vintage rifles is that they seem to have
better balance for off hand shooting.
