Astra A100 Sights Needed

[Old_Romad]

I have an Astra A100 that is in pristine condition, that I was given several years ago by a Washington State Sheriff. The problem is someone had swapped sights and had installed some kludges that literally were files to fit, but obviously NOT for the A100.
I want to put it back to rights, but cannot locate any sights. I found a few rear sights for sale, but from pictures of the gun when new, I can tell those are not real Astra original sights.
If I cannot find any, does anyone have one that could given me exact heights of rear notch and front blade? I can (I hate to say this) "kludge" a set myself possibly. The weapon fires flawlessly, and eats any ammo I have tried, but would be a lot more fun if i could at least guess where they were going ti impact!
Thankee much and a Merry Christmas! (and pardon me if that bothers you, but it's not YOUR Birthday!)

There is a listing over on GB right now for some Astra A-100 parts, including a slide with the rear sight. Lots pretty beat-up, but it may be what you're looking for. Best of luck

If all else fails, try contacting Leonardo Antaris for specific parts advice like this. He literally wrote the book (two of them) on Astra firearms and runs a collectible firearm company called Historic Investments.

I realize my earlier posts were some tima ago, but I tried contacting Mr. Antaris several times, but never received a reply.
Surely "someone" has an original that could measure the sights. I just need the level at the lower part of the rear sight notch and the overall height of the front sight. With that, I can attempt to make a set from scratch. It has been M A N Y years since I have done so, but think (I still do "think" in sprite of what my kids would tell you) I still can. I could just start "trying" different sizes, but at age 77, I really have other things I need to do with that amount of time, before I run out!

That's disappointing.

As you've probably discovered, Numrich lists the same rear sight for both the A80 and A100. These guys list an A-80 rear sight blade, but I think that means its not a complete rear sight unit:

Other than that, check eBay and Gunbroker daily until something turns up.

For a Hail Mary, you could try emailing some Astra parts suppliers in case they only have one or two and don't feel its worth the trouble to advertise.

Okay, I do have an Astra Model 100. I couldn't remember the model number. Apparently it's the one that looks like a Sig.

I'm will to help, but I don't own a micrometer. What can I do to be of assistance?
