Izh-7-3 rising block (for the foresight)

[conradin]

Anyone has an idea how to put a rising block for the foresight of a 7-3? The 7-3 is slightly smaller than I want it to be. If I have to I can switch the rear sight to Anschutz with rising block, as Altius has a conversion block for the rear sight. But there is no such thing on the front....I cannot shave my cheek piece any further! :)

I didn't realize the 7-3 was that small. Thanks for the info.

Hope someone here knows.

Good luck

Nobody knows how to raise the front sight of the Izh?

If you have talked to Marc at Altius and he couldn't help I doubt there is an off the shelf solution other than a custom milled piece. The other sources to try would be Larsenbiathlon.com in Norway. You might also check with Nordicmarksman.com in Canada. However, neither website shows a riser for the Izmash foresight or a taller foresight that I can see.

I'm not sure of the OD of the 7-3 or 4. The OD of the 7.2 barrel was .750. You can mount a small Anschutz bloop tube on the barrel if it is .750 and use the 11mm grooves to mount a sight riser and an Anschutz sight. I doubt the 7-3 and 4 barrel are that hefty but at least you can measure. You might be able to shim the barrel to attach the clamp.
