Thanks, guys.steelbuttplate wrote: ↑Sat Sep 07, 2019 4:39 pm
The rifle did not come with a rear sight or set screw.
I have a couple of spare sights, and have a forum member working on a set screw.
My new Valmet M55 arrived at my FFL and I got a chance to try one of my spare rear sights with the set screw from my M65...fit like a glove...and not OJ's glove ;)

Thanks, guys. As soon as the 10 day "cooling off" period is over, I'll post a range report.
One thing, the barrel on this one is a lot heavier than the one on my M65.
This is my M65...
