Does anyone know where to get some of these (photo stolen from Gunbroker)? I need two to fit Winchester 1885s (original ~0.375")

Unfortunately, the Midway blank is not available at this time (or who knows when?).
thanks though, I put a reminder on it so they might get back to me when they have it.

Are you interested in either of these? Like the one in your picture, they have been hand-made from the front portion of sporting leaf barrel sights. The plain one has a smooth finish. The Marbles has some minor pitting.

I need two and Mike is sending one, so I'd be more than happy to buy one from you. The dovetails are for two original Winchesters who have dovetails that are a bit over 3/8". Might be .385 or so. Which ever is closest or biggest would work and I can resize it smaller if need be.

Thanks,

What would you guys think about some of these dovetail blanks made with a little longer and slimer points for the rear blank and maybe the same length as pictures for the front dovetail.?? Whitey
