I've got an idea that I need another 58 Remmy with target sights. Let me know what you have.
Thanks

Guys beware of a possible scammer on the forum. I have seen this type of scam on multiple forums now.

I wanted to note that I will not respond to 3rd party emails claiming to have the exact item that I am looking for. If your "friend" has an item to sell I can be contacted via the forum. I have reported the incident to Zonie. If in doubt I always request a current photo of the item with my user name and date written on a card in front of the item. I've never met a legitimate seller that minds doing that to make a sale.

The individual who sent the PM has been banned from the forum and any message he might have sent was also deleted.

Now, lets get back to finding Badgerfarm a Remington New Army.

Who made that and what year is it? Is the front sight removable?

I just bought a Pietta with target sights, but the front sight doesn't have the ramp like your's does.

Cva made in Italy all that’s on it, yes ramp has a screw right behehind the blade. I don’t know the year

There might be some markings on the barrel under the loading lever.

Same thing happened to me. Received a message to reach out to so and so he has what you are looking for. Got this same message twice . Notified zonie and he banned the guy. So now I will only respond to a forum member.

I've been contacted by the same guy- three seperate times around three seperate WTB's I placed. I reported the guy all three times to Zonie but he keeps coming back under different names. What I can't figure out is why- why here ? I don't think anyone has taken his duplicitous bait so why keep coming back.

Now, that is something else! I don't think I've ever seen a Remington with modern target sights like that. You could do some serious hole punching with that, and it's probably easier to take apart for detail cleaning than a Ruger Old Army.

Jonathan, I think the scammers have had enough success to keep them them coming back. I have seen this particular scam on multiple sites that I browse and they are all they same. I normally check the date that they joined and to see how many posts they have and the content. With all of them it's the same story. No posts, no content that has anything to do with the forum subject. As a precaution which I didn't do on this thread I state right in the post that I will not respond to 3rd party requests to email the "friend" and then post in the thread that I would like to follow up with a phone call to verify who they are. Usually that's the end of it. It's too bad the forums can't ban all input from known countries that support this type of activity. I would bet money that the governments that harbor the scammers are making money in kickbacks somehow.

Zonie, would you please close this thread? I have located one from smokinfeathers. Thanks again for the help.
