D, Are we talking about a slotted or dovetailed bead here? Measure the height with a micrometer and drive it out to the right and in from the right... piece of cake.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I'll take a pic of it tonight and post it. I can't remember what it looks like off hand.

good luck on your search! that might be a gunshow item. It's amazing what obscure stuff you can find at the 'junk' tables at gunshows.

Most places seem out of stock, but just found it at lyman.com--imagine that.
What's the right way to knock the old sight out of the dovetail? Never done that before. |

D, A brass punch with the barrel well supported so it will not move. Hit from the left side to the right and reverse for the install. Somtimes a new sight is too big for the dovetail. If so remove metal from the bottom of the sight only. Note, this is a rare condition. I will check and see if I have a spare of that height.
Edit to add: .390 is all I found, sorry

Check brownells and see if they have the part or something equal to it. Or go to gunparts, they have just about everything.
