WANTED J. Browning Mountain Rifle rear sight

[brushblind]

Does anyone know where I can find an original rear sight for the JB Mountain Rifle? The rear leaf on mine broke off! Please don't suggest EBAY, I don't buy anything from them! TIA

I am not aware of any vendors having spare parts for these. Perhaps you could remove the whole unit and replace it with something from Track of the Wolf?

Just an idea.

They only made 1000 of the rifles, I would get someone to make a custom one. Jeff Miller Flintlock forge. I have a sight Jeff could copy, my rifle is a .45 cal. I would also contact Browning, the rifles were made right in Utah.

The screw adjustable rear sight on the JBMR is almost identical to the ones on the Lyman Great Plains rifle.

Yep, Track used to have a sight that would work but not available now.

I might try that because I really don't want to fab one myself.

I'm gonna try calling them, just for laughs! They'll likely be the ones laughing, but who knows.

Even though you don't like ebay. There is one available there right now.
