I have an Astra Constable 380 that’s missing a rear sight.  I haven’t found a sight yet but I did find a .22 barrel and slide (with sight) for $120.  Can the 380 be converted to a .22?  Where can I source e a rear sight?  Not sure how far I want to follow this rabbit hole.
Do epic shit.

I've bought a couple of obscure parts from them (Parts Forge USA) with no issues.
Now with more political fatigue.

Good to know, I’ll place an order.

To convert a .380 Astra to .22LR would require a new barrel and complete slide with firing pin and extractor, magazine, and new recoil spring.

I can probably make the conversion with this kit.  I’m not 100% sure.

That parts kit is still missing the magazine though. Good luck finding one of those.

@BlackdogADV

If you're still interested in parts or mags for your Astra Constable, you might try contacting M&M Gunsmithing in Hazel Green, AL. Mike was formerly employed by InterArms, who imported Astras for years, and still has a ton of parts and magazines for most guns imported by them.

He's local to me and I've had him do some work on a couple guns over the years. His shop is literally stuffed to the rafters with boxes for various models of Astra guns and others InterArms sold and serviced. If anybody has a Constable .22 magazine laying around, it's Mike.
I will not compromise!
