Trying to find sweat-on front sight ramps

So my upcoming projects this year, will all need iron sights to be "correct" to what I want them to be. I ordered a "Redfield Front Sight Ramp, 3/8"" from Numrich Gun Parts Corp (easy to do business with!) and it's exactly what I want, but I may need higher or lower ramps to complete the projects.

Given that I can't find any of these on the internet, does anyone currently produce a similar style sweat-on sight ramp? This one is 1/4" wide, radiused to fit snug on the barrel, designed to solder on and has a single screw hole under the dovetail that does not show when the front sight blade is installed.





The sight doesn't have to be Redfield-I picked this one based on price and description, and it seemed right. Now, unfortunately, I've bought the last one on earth...and I need two!

This one will have to wait for a suitable project, and I'll need to pick up two matching ones. It's ok if the two I buy are tall and need to be cut down, I just would prefer to not have to make these.

I would surprised if Bownells didn't have what you want.

That sure looks like what is a Williams Gunsight ramp

You will have to go direct to Williams to order the sweat on ramps now as Brownells do not carry them any more.

Yes, go to NECG, but really, any screw on ramp can be soldered on. Just don't use the screw. I do it all the time.
Or mill out one.

If you want collector barrel band front sights I have two old Redfields, one has a tad of rust the other is like new both in original boxes..Both are pretty high.

Brownells has what you describe as does New England Arms..Everyone needs a Brownells catalog, makes good readin when the snow is 3 ft. deep and risen mama..

Brownells has plenty of screw on sights, but not many sweat-on sights anymore. Williams claims their sweat-on sights are out of production.

I might end up making some, but I was hoping to avoid it if I could. I am not well setup for the compound curves.

Again, you can solder on any steel screw on ramp. Just leave out the screw and the sight bead covers the hole.

Wouldn't the two barrel band front sights Ihave from Redfield work, they are sweat on? and very high..They are hard to find these days. Look pretty cool on European guns and even custom rifles..The would be a very close fit.
