Front sight for Lakefield .22

[TJDukit]

I've got a Lakefield bolt action .22 that's missing the front sight. I'd like to replace the front sight but am having an issue finding parts since Lakefield was bought out by Savage and Savage doesn't really make a lot of the parts for the gun anymore. Hoping some of you might be able to direct me towards a specialist that might even be able to just make me one.

This is a stupid accurate gun to shoot and is even better open sights so I'm hoping to get it back to par before I head over seas in a few months and have to let it sit in Oregon for who knows how long.

If needed I'll take a picture of the front of the barrel with some measurements with a micrometer.

Pictures would help, Does it just screw on or does it slide in a dovetail?

Brownells has about anything if you can identify what you need.

I can probably make you A new one. I'd need to get a hold of the rifle though.

Here's a couple pictures. The dovetail is .300" at the top and .350" at the base and it's .430" wide.

Not sure of your model number but looks like all the fronts are sold out and only the rear available.

I've used Marble sights to replace a few messed up or missing irons over the years. Just basic functional sights, nothing fancy, but it looks like that is what you are after.

It is a Mark II so of course the front sight is sold out. I'll look into the marble sights and see what I can come up with.

My offer still stands

I might hit you up honestly just because it'll be cool. My attention is on doing floors in my house right now though

 

[thefirstzukman]

you should just trade me the gun for some flooring and save yourself having to find the part

I'll never give up this gun. It was my first gun, hard to believe I've had it for almost 20 years now.

Here is a barrel with the sight for sale

Or if you just want to upgrade both and take the scope off

Sweet those are both good and pretty cheap options, especially the barrel, but I do like the idea of just upgrading both front and rear sights.
