So I recently picked up a used browning BAR Shorttrac in 300 WSM from my local gun store. It was a used model (likely from Europe) with unreal wood.

I was shocked when I opened up the magazine release and it dropped right free, no swinging floorplate. I was a little surprised until I can across some info on Browning Europe that showed that you can get factory parts to do this....

Anyway, I am looking for a set of iron sights as seen in the link I have attached. These appear to be similar to the Tikka Battue sights which I really like. I currently have a Nikon 3-9 topping it but I always like to have irons on if possible. Being that the rifle is already drilled and tapped for irons, why not.

Does anyone have any idea where I could fine a set of these iron sights?? And while we are at it... anyone have a BOSS they don’t mind parting with? The rifle is threaded and already shoots 1.5 inch groups with Federal fusions but I like to tinker and would like to try out.

Wow. I don't know where to get the parts you are looking for, I would reach out to Browning directly, but those BARs are gorgeous! I love my Mk.III but would instantly buy a shorttrac in .308 with a 20" barrel and those sights. The wood looks amazing.

Those European BAR rifles are beautiful, I recently sold a European BAR in 30-06 with 20 inch barrel and it had the sights (exact sights you are looking for) on it as well. Those sights are very nice. If you can't get your hands on those sights keep your eyes open for a set of sights taken off the Tikka battue
