    AUCTION (100% to site): Redfield sourdough front sight blade

    Original Redfield front sight blade (not a repro), fits into a longitudinal slot. and is secured by a pin. "Sourdough" style, with a chunk of brass bonded into the top front corner and faced off at 45 degrees to catch the light.
    Attachment 287031Attachment 287032Attachment 287033

    The mounting tab on the bottom fits a slot about .113" wide, and the top of the sight blade is about .220" above the bevel where the tab goes into the slot. (You can see the shadow of this bevel right above the word "REDFIELD" in the 1st pic.)

    One owner (me), bought in the 1970's (I think), never installed anywhere.

    I'd like to auction this 100% for the site, which means if you're the high bidder, please pay your entire bid amount to Willy Snyder, as described in the fundraising header above. Then PM me your address (US only, please), and I will send you the sight blade. I will pay shipping.

    I'd like this auction to run until 6 p.m. EDT next Wednesday, August 11th.

    Do I hear $1.00 ?

    Nope. Bid $5 (+shipping extra). No idea what I would do with it or it's worth but you started low.

    Is this a replacement front sight blade for a 1903 Springfield?

    I don't know, but I can measure it and provide more dimensions (and pics) if you like.

    Maybe another member could describe what it takes to fit a 1903 Springfield?

    No it is not.
