Yes, it's very easy. You need a special tool called ring pliers. They expand outward as you close them. Using this tool (available at any Home Depot for les than 20 bucks, get a good one) you can pry open the hood just enough to get it into the slot on the front sight. Good luck!
What else can I help you with?
Did a 237 1938 Mauser K98 come without a site hood?
No. The hooded front sight post was adopted in 1939.
Would the front sight hood be compatible with the G98.40 Mauser?
Would the front sight hood for what be compatible with a G98/40, which by the way, is not a Mauser. The standard K98 sight hood will fit on a G98/40 rifle, but it will not sit well and would not be correct. The 98/40 used a proprietary sight hood that no other rifle in the world used. They are exceptionally rare today.
How do you know if your k98 is a geniune mauser?

How do you put on a front sight hood for a k98 mauser?
the best way, and I never have a problem using this method. get a good pair of Expandable snap ring pliers,then insert tips into sight hood about half way down the inside of hood , then squize-- the hood will open up , and slide it on until its in the groves of the sight , VERY EASY. hope this helps you.

What is the difference between a German Mauser K98 and a Yugo Mauser?
There are few German Mausers.. The main one is the K98 . This was the main issue weapon during WWII. During WWII one of the places K98s were built was in Yugoslavia. The folks in Yugoslavia learned how to make them. After the war they took and redesigned the K98s and designed and made their own models.... They used them in their own army after the war and sold them all over the world. The M48 is my favorite yugo Mauser .
