    Special order front sight for a 1886 Winchester SRC?

    What style of front sight other than the pin in blade sight would be correct for a 1886 Winchester SRC?
    Looking at what could be special ordered in lieu of the standard front sight.

    Lyman and Marbles use to make a beaded blade for SRC rifles. Sadly it is out of production.

    None of my usual sources had one, did manage to order a part from VTI that I've been meaning to order for over a year. Dixie Gun Works does list a front sight blank that may work for you, didn't see many details.
