HP beer can rear sight parts
This is for the guys who happen to own and enjoy the Browning adjustable sights on the HP's-

I have ended up with a pile of HP parts, included are many adjustable sight parts, screws, sight bases, and the sight "barrel". I have them in blue and chrome. I also have a few of the solder-on front sight blades as well.

Anyone neading these parts (along with most "baby" Browning parts) give a shout.

Rusty

That's outstanding Rusty, here's my shout...

I'm fond of "Beercan" Sport Models...yea, I know ...carried one on/off duty for years, consequently I've since accumulated several more. Some, where previous owners made their windage adjustments with a shovel or whatever other inappropriate tool they had handy ...resulting in buggered-up (admittedly wider than necessary notch) screws. I've got another where a previous owner replaced the "Beercan" w/ an aftermarket sight but included the original "Beercan"...w/ a missing windage screw . I'd like to replace several of those windage screws...if you've got them, and if you'd be willing to part with them. If so, I'd imagine we could easily come to a mutually acceptable agreement ...

Further discussion via PM ok Rusty?

Hi there
Hi there Rusty Goose i was reading one of your posts about browning hi-power rear-sights and having some parts.

I was at the range for the first time with my browning hi-power 9mm chrome edition and one of the screws from the rear sight fell out. its a beer can sight and i'm having a hell of a time finding the replacement screw on line or with browning.
would you happen to have a spare screw for sale?
or know where i could find one?
i would appreciate it.
thanks
Moose

Rusty, Do you have longer elevation adjustment screw? My poa/poi equals about three full turns from sight bottom out, and the screw comes out at three & one half. I've locktited it at two & half turn position for years and aimed higher to compensate...I've thought about reducing the front sight but I just cannot bring myself to alter the gun.

I just got some nickel plated screws from Rusty. Quick shipping and very reasonable on prices considering how hard it is to find the proper parts. I actually joined 1911forum because I found Rusty's for sale post in a search.
I'll post some pics of the old BHP as soon as I get her all dressed up with the proper screw!!
Thanks again Rusty!
Phil

@rusty goose
I'm looking for the "Beercan" part of the rear sights on a browning BHP, + the 2 set screws.

Would you have any lying around?

Kareen Israel Lost Rear Sight
I was out practicing today and my rear sight decided to leave home and left no forwarding address. I had adjusted it some last week trying to adjust for my poor eyesight and I guess I created an even bigger problem. I sent a pm to Rusty Goose to see if he may have a suitable replacement I might be able to procure. Do any of you guys have one that is the original style or one that does not require machine work you would be willing to part with? Shooting without a rear sight has my neighbor a little concerned. Thank you

After some time digging through the grass and using a magnet, I found my rear sight. I still would like to know what to use for sights that may not need to be machine worked.

Hi Rusty, I am interested in buying the beer can aperture and the 2 windage screws from you.
For the Type A adjustable Browning sights. Talked to Browning today and they didn't have them any more. So you are my last hope.
