1ST 1903 A3 and need parts.

I just got my first 1903 A3 :dancingbanana: . I need to find a front sight blade and pin. The barrle is marked 4-43. I seen that there is diff sizes and dont know what to get. Thank your for helping and taking time to read this.

Welcome to the forum!

Their heights are marked alphabetically, with the highest being an 'A', and I don't know how far down they go to. ('E', 'F'.... ?)

I was going through my parts yesterday and saw a new 'C' blade and pin still in the wrapper. You can have it to get you running if you want it. Just send me a PM with an address and I'll mail it out.

A size "C" is common. You might try - Bill Ricca's Home Page Contact him.

Make sure you get the GI pin with the blade. Those tiny pins are tough to find.

I was wondering what happened to the original sight. This isn't a restored drill rifle is it?

How would I know if it was a restored drill rifle?

Could you post a photo of the cut-off?

will do?

Here are the pics. I really hope this is not a drill rifle. I want to take this our on a hunt next weekend.

You look OK to me.
