Ivory sight beads

Post by eddywitay »

I am looking for two sets of ivory beads fir my Fox A any one know where i can get them from.Are the beads press fit from the factory or are they threaded ? The bead I took off looked like a replacement because it was not real ivory and was threaded.Any help would be great thanks..

I would check with Jason Barden at Pumpkin Mountain. I'm pretty sure he'll have original replacement beads.

I bought my last set of ivory beads from Tony Galazan.

Believe they are all press fit. Marbles or Lyman are the ticket, but finding real ones is real real hard. Not sure if Jason has them or not.
