I am hoping to find someone who knows of a business that stocks them.

I am not a fan of e-bay, to many folks who lack honesty from my past experiences.

I dont think they are made any more. Gun shows are another option. I have two for my light bench gun, one mid barrel for open sight matches and another for AMS matches. The whole works is for sale if your interested.

I would try Champion Shooters Supply in Utica Ohio, phone 800-821-4867. Carl is a former international shooter and his whole store is based on that type of shooting and the equipment needed for it.

I am 98% certain that Champion Shooters is out of business.  I'm not getting anything from their website, and others report that the phone is disconnected.

Make me an offer.  sight by: A.J. Parker

I also have a custom set front Aperture with inserts, Anschutz front with inserts and a Tiger Eye front with inserts. These
all fit the small longitudinal dove-tail scope mount-type base. If interested, I could take pictures.

Air rifles use precision peeps.  Try a pellet rifle supplier.

Daryl,

My Gunsmith does not think the rear in the picture has enough adjustment for the rifle.

If you can send pictures when you can of the front sights that would be a help.

Thanks

What are the Redfields selling for now if a guy would happen upon a set?

Hate to say it but try FleaBay, they usually have some for sale. It might at least establish a value for you.

The front sights do mount quite high. I hadn't thought of the elevation problem you will have for anything but close range shooting.
The Parker sight will not do, nor will the front sights I have. They are from my "Palma Trophy Match" rifle.

You might try Champion's Choice in Lavergne, Tn for an alternate. They are good folks and do have an online catalog.

You might try Outback Gun Parts in Indiana. They stock lots of sights, and keep nice stuff in their inventory; great folks to deal with and very knowledgeable.

got my Palma sight at a gun show and International sight came with my 52 winchester. the front sights I'm using are older Redfields like the lyman 17a's but slide onto the target bases common on target 22's. Both front sights purchased on Ebay. Usually multiple sights for sale. Sinclair international carries Gehmen sights witch I believe are German and use all sorts of apertures, lenses etc. Ive never had any problems with sellers on Ebay. Ask questions and know what your looking for. Also the Merit adjustable apertures are great.

The adjustable aperture on my AJ PArker is from Gehmann, W.Germany, but the sight does lack the necessary elevation for a black powder gun.
