    Swiss 96/11 front sight

    Need Advice!
    I recently purchased a Swissicon model 96/11 long rifle and need a taller front sight blade. I would like to be able to adjust sights down to 100 yards. Does anyone know where I might be able to locate one? I looked on the net. But it seems that everyone who once had them, No longer does.

    Who do I get an original front sight from...

    Hey guys, I recently picked up a nice 96/11 that was missing the front sight. Where do I order a replacement (preferably with proof marking) for this excellent rifle? I also want to replace the Bakelite bolt pull handle parts as they have chipped some over the 106 years since the original 1908 manufacture date.

    Thanks
    Bob

    I also purchased an 96/11 rifle made in 1897 with all matching numbers, with a nicely aged dark walnut stock. My rifle range only goes to 100 yards and I need to purchase the taller front sight also. Please help. Thank you.
