91/30 Front sight

[Richard Simmons]

Well as you may or may not know the current crop of Ufixems from Century seem to have one thing in common. the majority have no front sight. The best deals I can find on the net weem to be anywhere from about $10 to $15. Hate to spend that much on a rifle that only cost $20. Are there any alternative sights by say, Lyman or someone else that may be readily available? I need at least three front sights. TIA

Richard,
Have you checked Tapco in Georgia? They have a buttload of Nagant parts now. I doubt if the front sights are that high but then again, I don't have a flyer here to look.

Dear Mr. Simmons.Try Rick Reich.You should be able to contact him at Reichtrade@aol.com.I ordered an m1891 barreled action from him with mt C&R license,mated it with a refinished stock and she shoots 3-4" groups at 300 feet!Rick also carries a variety of slings.His prices are very reasonable and he is well known over at Mosin-Nagant.net.My .02 worth:)-Gearhead.

Thanks, I just sent him an email. Tapco has nothing as far as the front sight goes.

I got a front sight that fit my M-98 but it was not listed as such.
This was listed as fitting 91-96 rifles and was far taller at .315 from the stock at .188. Seems I have lighter, hotter ammo than perhaps I should turk 8mm....but that taller sight will get the angles right.......
