Hallo

I am looking for a original Winchester Express Front Sight for my Winchester rifle model 1886.

Does anyone know, where I can buy one?

Best regards

Ebay usually has a couple for sale. That’s where I got mine. Look under Winchester sights. Year of your rifle makes a difference in whether it takes one with the screw or without.   Big Larry

As Big Larry has stated, these come up on eBay quite often.  They are Winchester front sight # 21.  The set screw can start to appear around 1895 and is intermittent with the sight base without the set screw until around 1910-12, after which they all had the set screw.
