These show up on ebay all the time. The price has been all over the board. I've seen them go for $75.00 all the way up to 325.00.
here is a link to one on ebay

Dixie gun works has them on their web page. I call, give them all my info, then they said they are sold out.
I may try a Williams, or a Lymann. I read a Lyman can pinch your hand during recoil. I can't see that, but maybe for a lefty? I am "building" a TC Hawken from some spare parts and one I got of the classifieds for a friends kid. They use a peep on a Marlin 22, so they are accustomed to the sight picture.

I have 4 Lyman 57's on T/C rifles. None of them have pinched my hand. Maybe for a lefty, who knows.

I had 2 of the T/C tang sights. Sold them both. The Lyman is far and away a better sight.

I had a couple of the TC sights. The big attraction is that they look kinda-sorta traditional on sidelocks, and are pretty rugged. No way would I pay what they usually go for now.

A good alternative is one of the Williams WGOS replacements for the barrel sight, equipped with the peep aperature. There's actually a guy that sell the complete assembly on ebay for TCs, so you don't have to figure it out yourself. I tried the concept out with a Low Wall .44 mag and got very good accuracy and you had to look hard to tell it from a regular open leaf. The peep I used had fiber optic dots, but they make a plain aperature as well. Just remember to look through the peep, not at it.

I had three of them. Sold in a flash, for $125 each (a yr ago).

Still looking for 7194 tang sight. Thanks
