I have already replaced the sights I removed with NOS Marbles or period correct Savage sights, so I don't need sights for rifles at the moment. If I need a sight in the future I would like a period correct sight, not a current manufacture new sight, thus my original post.
Thanks for the brass nail idea. That sounds like something I could try. I assume I would need to drill the remains of the original "bead" material out of the tube first.
