I have an 1895 303 with octagon barrel and a broken folding front sight. Can anyone identify this sight? I'd like to find a replacement.

All said, the Savage 99 is a genius of a rifle. Although no longer produced, it remains highly revered, as it was the foundation from which Arthur Savage built one of America's great gun companies. >> (Jon Y. Wolfe) <<

Welcome to the fire! The folding front sight on my 1895 is a lyman 5B (the ivory bead) but any No 5 will work. They show up on ebay but they are not cheap as they fit numerous rifles. Normally go for north of $100, damn winchester collectors lol

+1 on welcome to the campfire!
Congrats on having an 1895! Would you mind sharing the serial number and barrel shape? They made round, octagon and half-octagon barrels.
