Hi all, I am chasing a factory front sight band to suit a CZ 550 Magnum barrel in 458WM. Just the bare band will be sufficient. I think they're all the same diameter, no matter what chambering, but, unsure. Also, CZ do a 1/8" front sight bead on their custom shop big bores in 450 Rigby, 500 Jeffery and 505 Gibbs. Can anyone point me in the right direction to getting a few of these, please. Thanks all. Cheers.  | ||

I have boxes full of the banded sights with hoods but no 1/8" beads. The largest diameter factory bead I have is .100", and only one of them. Email Harlan at Triple River Gunsmithiths (CZ Custom Shop) for the beads. I'll send you the banded sight base for postage. In fact, I'll send you several as they are piling up around here. You can pass them out to your mates. | |||

I don't know about solid, but my son calls me thick. Watch out for that Paul Smith fellow.  | |||

Yes Wayne is a true champion! Helped me with my 416 Rigby a couple of years ago. I got the bolt smoothed out following his instructions. Then Wayne sent me a replacement foresight and several rear sights at very nominal cost with none of the import export BS as he has a special permit.

Hi Wayne, I will gladly take up your offer. You are a scholar and a gentleman. Just let me know how to pay for postage. I will take as many as you wish to send me, in reason, of course. Thanks for the info on the sight bead. I will email them next week. Regards. Tony. PS: I have been away hunting for a few days, sorry for the late reply all. | |||
