I didn’t measure but they did not align on my Thompson renegade. I had to take my Dremel tool and extend one of the holes in the sight do the screws would line up. This must be done carefully so you still have metal for the screw head to set on. The dovetail on the front had to be run back and forth on a file to remove a little bit on the thickness to fit. With some oil I was able to tap it in nice and tight. Do not file your barrel.
