Anyone know if there is a way to get the T3x Arctic sights?

I would phone them - even by phone expect to wait, and try multiple times to actually reach someone. Painful company to deal with, but they should be able to give you a real answer.
 
A good option I found was the front sight band from a Schultz & Larsen M69 target rifle. Got one off a buddy for 10 bucks some years back and used it as a base to mount an M1 Garand National Match front sight from Smith Foundry.(Now named Smith Enterprises) The ID of the band is right around .750" which suited my .45 LE build fine. A better lookin' result in my book over the Tikka thingy. Simple to adjust as well. ;)

Curious as well... there were thoughts around a screw on front option, like a brake? Rear option for you may be the Sako peep? They work well and are easily adapted.

The rear sight in specific I do indeed want for an ultralight carbine build. Very familiar with NECG have installed a lot of their stuff and have a stock in the shop. I want an M1/M14 stand-alone rear sight (Sarco makes a base) or better yet the Arctic rear sight. A quality long range rear sight that isn’t fragile is a rare and special thing. There are a ton of peep / aperture sights available, but very few that have the elevation and clean clicks for 600 yards.
 
The Sako peep will definitely not have the range you are after...
Please keep us posted on progress? Very interested in what you come up with.
Maybe give Beretta a call in the US, and see what they have to say. Also, try Roedale in Germany, as they do a lot of Tikka work and may have access to factory parts.

Actually, it does, the rear on the C19 / Tikka Arctic is good for 600m / 660y. And a good deal more if shooting something flatter than 7.62. We regularly shoot 1000y with good irons at the airstrip for amusement, and want to build an ultralight that can play at that. Definitely not a work necessity but would be a neat little carbine.
 
The Sako peep being referred to is the old dovetail model from the A series and previous. It adjustable for 100 and 200 yards only, via a knob at the rear. A very repeatable and robust sight.
Drop Roedale a line. He has proven to be quite helpful in the past, and will be the most likely source of a solution. Sako Collectors Forum may also be of value, as they have factory direct contacts.

To add, looking to do the same, but with a repeatable, removable option.

When i was got my c-19 the ranger instructor said the rear site cost them $600 each?It is a neat site that works great but for that price i would look at other options.Have you tried to get a hold of Colt Canada??
 
Make the front, adapt an older Parker Hale, Lyman, Redfield to the rear, or dovetail the receiver for a clamp on diopter?
