    Exclamation

    Got the FH from Numrich..Quality is quite nice. Did some measuring..and cut 4" from the #4 barrel....and the FH slipped snugly into place. Fits perfect..I broke the sight insert while switching it to the FH. Where can I get another ?..And..Were any 15 or 20 round mags. ever available ? I'll post some pics. when I'm done..Thanks for the help...

    I have a sight insert I'll send your way.
    The front sight blade, correct? That's drifted into the front sight base dovetail. Is that what you need?
    If so, PM your address.

    You should take a look at the number on the sight and tell us so you get the right one...it matters.

    Should be the same. The number on top of the sight is what you need.

    Springfield Sporters has 'em.

    The sight insert on my No5 has the split dovetail. I think the inserts with the solid dovetail were for the base with the locking screw .
