Hi folks!

I recently picked up a Japanese single shot, bolt action rifle. I've identified it as a Murata, I believe, Type 18. It's in GREAT shape except it's missing the rear sight and cleaning rod. I've searched the net and all the "Usual Suspects" with no luck. I'd really like to find a rear sight for this rifle. I can live without the cleaning rod.

Thanks!

There is a type 18 for sale on gunboards and there is a photo of the rear sight

Thanks RCS. It sure went fast! I've found pictures on another site so I know what I'm looking for, just not where to find it. Mine is in a lot better shape than that one. I'll keep looking.
