Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Remington 725 Help

So, I picked up a Remington 725 in 30-06 at a gun show last weekend. Pretty decent shape, definitely seen it’s fair share of use.

My problem is the sights. Rear is missing altogether, but should be able to find a substitute. The real problem is the front. It is the same shape and contour as some later model 700 sights I have, BUT it is apparently soldered on instead of being screwed on. And the sight insert is pinned instead of being dovetailed. Fortunately, the pins are still there.

Does anybody know where to get a front sight insert???
Numrich was no help, they even listed the front sight as being held on with screws.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
