My friend has a S&W rifle. I think it says model A. I read these were made by Husqvarna.

Any idea where to find a replacement front sight hood?

I found a guy in Texas that had one. He is/was a little bitter because he was a Smith parts guy until he claims that they left him high and dry with all of the extra parts he couldn't get rid of. I would tell your friend to skip it. I got one from this guy and the hood wouldn't stay on. Unless he is going to weld it on it won't stay. I will try and find the guy's info but, it was several years ago and the guy was older than dirt back then.
 
I'd be interested in the guys info…

Why did it fall off?

It is a compression hood. Only thing holding it on are the grooves in the site and the metal of the hood pressing into the grooves.

I will check to see if I still have his info. It was 3-4 years ago and he was an old timer then.
 
The other place you can check is with Howa. They are still making a similar model to the 1500
