M9A1 bazooka sight nut

I'm attempting to place an original M9 bazooka optical sight on a replica bazooka. It's going well except for one thing: I cannot for the life of me find a nut that will fit on the sight bolt.

 

It's 3/8" and the thread is super fine. I had a heck of a time hunting down a 3/8 nut with a 32 thread and even that isn't fine enough.

 

Does anyone know what kind of thread these had and where I could find a nut I can use?

I had to make my own nut.

 

I found a nut of a slightly smaller size and drilled out the threads. I then tapped the nut with a 40 TPI thread tap I got off ebay.

 

It takes some time and patience but it worked for me.

I am following you fine example of adding more accurate detail to one of these and

have a question for you. Would you be willing to make another of these nuts and

sell it? If so, what would you want for it?

Thanks in advance
