Needed: Front sight replacemant advice

[bruceflinch]

OK, got the trim & recrown issue solved. Now about replacing the front sight, which
I just realized was gone !
Not finding any old scopemounts. Midway had 1200 sights to look thru.
Anyone have a suggestion for aftermarket front sight?



My Neighbor has this Wards Western Field #47A. Some knucklehead in the past chopped off the end of the barrel. Some local Fellow have a Mill & can trim the barrel & recrown?

First short-shorts, now Crocks?

I could do it if I can borrow the facing and crowning cutters my friend has and you bring it to me.

I might need a .22 pilot but my friend might have one already.

^ The other pics have been my imitation Crocs. These are the Originals!

I'll make the drive If you can handle the tool logistic's.
Thanks.

Bring it by Sunday night and I'll get you fixed up.

front sight needs to be the same or very near the same height from bore center line as the rear sight is.
Then just select one based on muzzle diameter

I think Brownells Catalogs have a section on selecting front sights.

It's something you would have to braze on or drill and tap the barrel.

I can recut a dovetail for you when you get a front sight.
