I have a Gonic .45 cal 16" ML barrel that goes on a T/C Contender. I need sights or any extra parts for one.
Thank You

Name brand (i.e., Gonic) parts are unobtainium, but IME, with careful measurements you can install (or have installed) just about any open/iron barrel sights onto it.
Whether or not the barrel has sight dovetails, the measurement principles will be the same: the top of the front sight and the bottom of the rear sight's sighting notch must both be the same distance above the bore C/L, with the rear sight in the middle of it's elevation adjustment range ( to leave a fudge factor when zeroing the rifle).
Just calculate what height sights (including a front sight ramp, if wanted) the new sights need to be...….
BTW - My neighbor & hunting partner owns/operates summer camps not from you, in Weld - didja get much snow up there yesterday ?

The Gonics were a good gun but when the old man died and his son took it over he ran it into the ground pretty quick.
I sighted a few of those in for the Outfitter I use to guide for and 4" groups at 200yrd was not unusual with the 50cal slug they recommended.
