Does anyone know of a place that has these for cheap? Brownell's wants $35.00 for the set, I'd like to find a discount place with a cheaper price, or maybe even a used set.

Cabela's- $29.99. You have to search though -> hunting -> 10/22 accessories -> zephyr. For some reason their generic search function does not come up with them. I have a set, and they look kind of funny, but really improve the sight picture.

That's getting better.
 I found a set on gunbroker.com for $45.00! HA!! I'm wanting this for a sort-of off the wall 10/22 project, I really only need the rear sight, but I might as well get the set. Does your rear sight mount pretty securely? |

Yes it is pretty secure, it uses two screws which fit into the scope mount holes on the 10/22 reciever. The indexing on the windage is not the most sophisticated- it is a piece of spring steel which puts pressure on a nylock nut. Also, the piece which slides back and forth for the windage and holds the aperture extends a little above the protective ears. I haven't abused it, and haven't had any problems, but you can tell it is a $30 sight.

I don't know much about it, but I think I remember seeing somewhere that a sight from an M1 carbine could be adapted to the 10/22. This might be a more durable option. Fulton Armory has the rear sight for $30, so I'm sure you could find it for less elswhere.

ummmm.... if you call Brownells and tell them you are a "gunsmith" (its ok if the only gunsmithing you do is for yourself), then you get dealer prices. Actually you get the catalog for free to. And the dealer prices are in the code next to the retail price.

They asked me for a business license last time I tried that. I would normally order through a buddy's shop, but only if he's already placing an order. He's not for a while. The catalog shows dealer price at $26.00, a lot more reasonable. I guess I'm hoping somebody's got a set sitting in a drawer not being used, and wants to make $10.00.  I'm in a cheapskate mood.

You have to provide proof via a business license or FFL copy in order to get the discount. Brownell's extends the discount to C&R licensees. Might ought to think about investing in one for $30. You'll get back the license fee in discounts fairly easily. |

So nobody's got a used set they don't need? I'm sure I could come up with something good to trade...
