Need front sight assembly

[mac66]

Way back when, I bought a short barreled SKS, known at the time as a "paratrooper" model. I got it when they still had bayonets on them. Anyway, I made it into a sporter by cutting the bayonet/cleaning rod lug off. I am looking to restore it to original condition but cannot find the front sight/bayonet assembly. I still have the bayonet. Anyone know of a source?

The best place to start is Gun Parts Corp. in W. Hurley, NY. They can be found on the net at http://www.gunpartscorp.com

From there you can order their comprehensive parts catalog, which is $7.00. It has an amazing variety of gun parts of all kinds, including those for the SKS. I checked my copy and they carry the SKS front sight base and bayonet lug for $18.50. The front and rear base pins are available also for $1.95 ea. They also have the bayonet spring and screw also.
