Newbie here...need a little help.

Hello guys. I recently picked up a high number RIA that has been set up for match shooting. It has a Lyman 48s rear sight , 17A front sight, Unertl scope mounts, and a glass bedded C stock. Unfortunately the lower band and swivel is off of an A3 and sticks out like a sore thumb. Does anyone have a spare milled lower band with the swivel and screw (entire assembly) on hand that they would be willing to part with? I'm hoping to find a blue milled assembly rather than a gray parkerized finish...If I remember correctly the real NM rifles had blued lower bands. I'm not looking to sink a ton of money into the rifle as it was purchased as a shooter, but would like it to make it less of a mixmaster than it already is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check the Classifieds(Quartermaster Stores). The whole assembly, blued, in decent shape, will probably run $40 +.

Thanks Mike. I found that Rick has one for sale and have sent a pm his way.
