    need some better pics of the front. Is it in a dovetail, if so easy peasy. The worst case is to braze/silver solder a brass pin back on. rear sight deffo should be on a dovetail to replace the whole thing but again the pics arent quite instructive enough

    Thats heaps better. Front sight is easily replaceable. source a suitable replacement and drift it out drift new one in. Could do similar with the rear. You can buy flouro hivis replacements.
    Id have a chat with your local gunsmith, may even have a suitable set in the parts box.

    Yep unless you find an old gunsmith with a couple floating around you can't get new in nz. Plenty in America or Canada if you know someone who will post for you. You can get the hi vis ones in nz though.

    Easy to replace, just gotta find some and a gunsmiths spares box is a good start. Or flog some off a buggered old 22. Or put the word out on here, theres probably a few old buggered barrels that have the sights still attached.

    The M94 Trapper doesn't have the bead on the front sight, it's just a blade (pretty much what you have now) - just something to be aware of when looking for a 2nd hand replacement.

    I have an old husqvarna that was shoved up in a ceiling years ago.
    Never managed to find a mag or bolt for it.

    No, more correctly,
    Used rifle with some wear marks, patches of worn bluing but finish 8 1/2 out of ten overall, small repair to stock, bore mint, only been to the range to sight it in since I’ve owned it, last owner said it easily held MOA…
