Wanted: Sako L461 / A1 Open Sights

[freid]

I've just bought a Sako A1 in .222 which has had the open sights removed, and I'd like to try and source some so I can replace them. I'm looking for the type that are held on by small screws (1 screw for the rear sight and 2 screws (30mm apart) for the front sight). Note that I am not looking for the detachable peep sight, but the ramp style sights.

Appreciate this is a tall ask, as most have probably been chucked, or are sitting in a cupboard long forgotten about, but if you don't ask you don't get so fingers crossed...!

I have this, though it is missing the cross slide part

Found two of the screws, and the grub screws.

Looks like they used Williams ramps

I had the front and rear sights for an A11 think they are the same damned if I know where they are took them off my A11 because I could see a ghost of the front sight
through the scope.
I.know I kept them but haven't seen them in twenty years.
Not.much help I know.
You are probably really pi@@ed off now.

Thanks Dropmdead - I think I'll keep hunting for a complete set in the meantime, but suspect I may well be in touch!

You might want to try www.sakocollectors.com . There is nothing these guys don't know about Sako's. Mostly US members but a few around the UK and Europe who might help. Also try www.sakosource.com . He sells everything Sako and might be able to help. He is based in Texas.

Good Luck,

RSF
