    Where to get rear sight parts for a Garand?

    Anyone know where to get rear sight parts for a M1icon. I'm trying to restore a Danishicon '43 Springfield Armoury Garand to as issued back in mid 1943. I need the locking bar and parts.

    Any help or direction would be appreciated. Thanks

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    In Canadaicon, MANY of the Danes had lockbar sights. You might be better off buying a donor rifle, swapping the site, and flipping the extra M1icon. If you're lucky you may also get other parts you need

    Be aware that repro's are being made. They have the open arrows like original Winchester items, and the edges of the knobs are squared, not rounded. Numrich carries the repro's, and they are honest enough to point out that they are repro.
