| 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.

Now with more political fatigue.

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!
