7/16" dovetail front sight

[Dusty_Traveler]

I'm working on an original antique rifle, and it's missing the front sight. The dovetail is in good shape, and measures 1/16" deep by 7/16 wide.

I'm just wanting a plain, simple brass blade. Does anyone know of any options? All my normal go-to's only offer 3/8" DT brass blades.

In that situation I'd make my own. The saw and file are very useful tools.

What’s your rate? I’ll draw it up for you.

TOTW has sights that are oversize that are designed to be filed to fit.

Dang! How did I miss those?!
Thanks @French Colonial !

The sight and dovetail need to be fitted to each other to a press fit of less then 0.001". You will never find a sight that fits as made or have someone make you a sight that fits unless he also has the rifle. .
