Our reproduction rear sights have been a great success! That being said, recently a supply of original 1917A1 rear sights has become available and we have access to these. Condition varies, but most are in excellent condition. Our beautiful repros are now almost gone, and we are using them only on the complete gun builds available from Rogue Island Arsenal.
9/29/2025 UPDATE: Our supply of original WWII, Rock Island Arsenal manufactured top covers for the 1917A1 is exhausted, except a few committed for gun builds currently on order. Our old price of $135 is now less than what our last supplier had raised our replacement cost up to. They tell us they are all but out, themselves. However, I have a small supply remaining of WWI covers, converted to WWI specs, from 1917 to 1917A1. These are mostly New England Westinghouse manufacture. I can make one available in stripped condition starting at $295, and can add more Westinghouse parts for additional cost. These are more than 100 years old and will have nicks, dings and other features of wartime use. Contact if interested.
And we face the same circumstance with the original 1917A1 Top Latches as well, the new cost higher that what we have retailed these at until recently. We need all we have left for the gun builds, so we can no longer offer these for general sale. We are working on a new supply, but cannot quote a price just yet.
Lastly, we are the only supplier of the windage spring and the mounting pin for the 1917A1 sight assembly. In addition, we now have our own, new made Windage Screws, as the supply of originals is gone. The spring is $5 and the pin $8, or $12 for both. New windage screws are $30, in-the-white. Add $4 shipping for these items. We will soon be restocking on the movable base and springs for the windage assembly. For now, we can still supply the complete windage screw assemblies at $75 shipped.
