Does anyone know where I could get a vintage barrel sling stud and Vintage front sight? I am referring to the studs with the big hole that are found on the the older H&H and Rigbys etc. they were for the hook type or leather thong sling. Also looking for an H&H or Rigby vintage front sight. | ||

I have found that trying to retrofit these kind of parts to be more trouble than it is worth due to the varying barrel contours that were used, I just make them from bar stock. NECG sell new stuff but it sticks out like a sore thumb on a vintage rifle. I have bought lots of old parts for guns at auctions and on Ebay. | |||

agreed, the new tuff sticks out -- if you have a worn out tumbler bowl, you can use pea gravel in it to simulate surface wear -- breaks the corners and rounds the edges opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

For all parts rare, one must go to Germany, find a gunsmith who has his shop in a closet in his house and is plus 70 years old..He can make a perfect ball out of an anvil with a #2 Bastard file.

Replacement front ramp, not original. Most front ramps on Rigby rifles were sleeved on. | |||
