Greetings:

I have a 1980 S&W model 1500 mountaineer rifle in 7 mm magnum. Back at least 20 years ago I lost the front sight hood. I have never, ever been able to find a replacement for this. No safe queen, I hunt with it every year I get a tag for from antelope through elk. Besides the well earned dings and scratches it is still a tack driver. Would like to locate this part more for sentimental purposes so when it eventually goes into the family trust it is complete like the day I bought it in December of 1981.

Don't bother. I found one and put it on. Lost it on my first hunting trip. You would have to have someone weld it on. Unless you use iron sights I would just leave it as it is. Not sure exactly where I got mine but, I think it was an old timer in TX. He had an axe to grind with S&W. He had a ton of parts and felt abandoned by them. No sure he is still around.
