    There is a guy who sells repros I think his name is Bill Benz (sp?.) Someone else will get the contact info for you I'm sure. If you buy a front sight I would suggest buying the rear sight slide with the larger aperture too. It's more optically compatible.

    Capn,

    Saw a USMC front sight listed on Poppert's gun parts today. Have not done business with them but they seem to have a lot of parts if they are all available.

    USMC Sights

    CapnJohn,

    Bill Bentz (dcm450shtr@comcast.net) does still sell the reproduction USMC sights. I know this because I purchased a set from him about 3 months ago. He includes a front sight blade, a rear sight slide with the larger aperture and some instructions on how to perform an install. He charges $75 which includes shipping and insurance. I was very impressed with the parts that he made however I no longer have a need for them because I am now considering an A4 instead. I would be willing to sell you the set I have for $50 shipped with insurance. All parts are unused and as new.

    Semper Fi,

    Darryl (GigerTiger)
