Recently My 73 yr old Dad handed me down a Remington 592M 5mm, s/n 1118848:) . Unfortunately I'm missing the rear sight rib and rear sight assembly. 'I'm happy to say that's the only problem I have with this jewel of a fire arm'. I'm guessing that they were removed to make clearance for a scope mount job . Obviously since I'm on here asking for help to find a replacement that I've already asked my dad. Looking at the instruction folder and parts list for this rifle, dated 1970, "Remington/Dupont" the price for replacements add up to a grand total of $3.50. 'Those were the days'.

Thanks for the tip, I actually have an account with Gunbroker.com and found the item you pointed out. I'm thinking of purchasing a second 591 or 592 for parts instead if I can find one that's in a less then desirable condition for a couple of hundred $.

Good for you, enjoy it. I just got a new 6x32 scope and replaced the old 4x32, can't wait to take mine hunting.

I'm south of you and everyone else in Ga. for that mater, little town called woodbine just off I-95. I'm 45 miles north of Jacksonville Fl. Let me know how flat she shoots.
