I know a tang site is spendy.......but about how much for a front sight base and front post? Will a more modern one fit the threads on that or ? thanks

yeah the front sight appears to have been attached with a screw and base........the only replacement ones I see online are for dovetailed barrels, so I dont know whats up with that. Would a base be screwed on that has a dovetail in it? and then the actual sight blade goes in that? The scope is junk,...

the rest..

thanks for the info guys.......ive just been looking at this one so far, its not mine yet.

another question....what kind of value would be a 'good deal' on a model 8 in this 'fixer' kind of condition??

here is the sights btw......would the old scope be worth anything?

WOW u got it! except there is a few more holes than that too.....
thank you for the info!

Howdy, new guy here and im looking at a model 8 (1907 mfg)...its had a funky scope mount made and currently attached on the sight base (drilled grrrr) and on the side of the receiver (drilled and with 5 screws gggrrrrrrrr)...anyway I know its just a 'shooter' grade but it has no rear or front sight....
