<blockquote>With all the long barrels sawed off to make sporters and faux carbines. There has to be a lot of barrel ends that were not thrown away. One might look for these and remove the original front sights to have a supply. It would not be too hard for a machinist or a gun smith to make the appr...

<r>Thanks guys, I really appreciate all your help and yeah I'm being a bit fussy with both these guns. Both actually started as stripped receivers with a lot of time spent looking for original parts that matched the condition of the metal as I got them. However, as mentioned above, the bolts which a...

Thanks and no, nobody local for installing barrels. If I could find a good original barrel I'd snag it and if I could find someone to install a front sight on a Criterion I'd do that too - whichever worked out first.

Ill post pictures when I get home. Im new here and will have to figure out how that works on this forum

My carbine is a "put together" project from parts I've had lying around for some time now. The receiver is what I would call in excellent condition but I don't know if it originated from a carbine or a rifle or was ever used at all. My hunch is it came from a rifle. All I really need to fi...

Thanks, I appreciate your response. I have two ways I can go with the sight. I have a 1901 carbine sight that is missing the slide assembly. Obviously I would have to find the slide. I also have enough parts to build up a 1902 carbine sight which I may end up using as I have a correct reproduction h...
