No clue. We have a neat lil shop called copper point nuts n bolts er similar. I take alotta stuff there and they match it up. Most I ever paid was $.79

I would like to suggest you remove the entire site and replace with a old style. Just file n tap till yer zeroed in and never worry bout it again. I have both adjustable and fixed sites and wayyy prefer the fixed myself :idunno:

If its just a E clip call your local auto parts store like Napa or car Quest, most of them have a bulk assortment and might fix you up. Call them or go in EMPTY handed and talk to them before walking in with a gun in your hands.

why walk into an auto parts store with a gun at all? since the clip's gone the screw will screw right out then just take the screw into the store & see if ya can match it up. and get several while yer at it.

Possible hardware store,
Look around for a local gunsmith, modern arms do use small clips like that too.

:hatsoff: Remember, an adjustable sight becomes a fixed sight once you are done adjusting it. The only reason for REAL adjustable sights is if you are going to be moving them in the middle of a shot string, or you really know how much each click will move it. Competition shooters (and those shooting at game at very long ranges) regularly adjust their sights or scopes throughout a shot string a click or two after each shot to adjust to how the barrel is performing as it is heating up or cooling throughout the match. But they use VERY high quality iron sights, or externally adjustable scopes. Unless you are shooting that kind of shooting, and really know your sight, an adjustable sight is just adding unnecessary complexity, and introducing one more thing that can go wrong. Go with a fixed sight, and spend the time to get it adjusted to where it is going to STAY put. You'll be happier in the end.

see if you can get what you need at a gun shop, contender sights are the same.

The e clip needed I found out actually is a 3/32 and is quite common I guess. All is fixed and well.Taking the Hawken to the range Saturday for some therapy. Thanks for the recommendations and assistance.
