Western gun parts based out of Edmonton should have those in stock... LOC and I got Williams fire sight sets for our 45/70's and they also have the marlin factory open/cut out front sight hood!!!
Midway ended up shipping to the boarder for me.
I decided to give the williams ghost ring a try because it's half the price and the ring is threaded to accomidate a standard aperature (which it also comes with). It also comes with a red fire sight style front post.
I like the look of the skinner sight. I might try it if i don't like the williams for some reason.
Does Western Gun Parts sell to the general public? I want to get more into Customizing and modifying myself put parts are very dificult to get in Canada.

you will be very happy with the williams.... the front sight is nice to look at... and you can take the front apature out and have a "ghost ring" does yours have the open hood? if not get one as it makes the front sight work that much better...
WGP sells to the public... I called them and the "lady" was so nice and patient to help a newby get the right parts...
they have lots of hard to find things!! I know alot of guys buy from them and "I" have not heard anything bad....
I have pics in my gallery of the williams if you want to take a look...
Enjoy!

Alright, I got it all installed and I think I'm really going to like the set up.
As far as the open hood goes, Would it be taller than the stock hood? I would simply cut the top of mine out but it is pretty close to the new sight and I think that might hurt my sight picture.
Thanks for the info on WGP. I'll be giving them a call at some point for sure.
Order through your local gun smith he should be able to get it from the states with no issues it might cost more but you get what you need.
