I bought this receiver piece for the Anti aircraft site and barrel door. I was going to use the rear sight, as it is in excellent shape but I can use the WaA20 also pictured.

Taking a better look at your project photos. Looks like a very nice mg indeed and its good your taking your time getting it as it should be back to war time fitout.. well done.
I have a early 1943 dated CRA and over time have managed to find a genuine bakelite WaA11 butt, WaA11 flash hider and been looking for a nice early pattern WaA11 rear sight like yours.
I would very much like to buy it off you ?
I have sent you couple of PMs
Thank you
Rob
