Topic: Looking for a Automag2 Rear SightPosted: 16 Dec 2023 at 12:42am |

I have the unfortunate task of locating a replacement rear sight for my 3 & 3/8" Automag 2. Looks like it had been repaired at some point by a previous owner, but has broken again and I do not have the tools or skill to fix it. See the pictures below.
The sight is the 3-dot type with rear being adjustable (very similar to the rear sight on the larger automags, but different dimensions obviously). I'll buy a rear sight if anyone happens to have one or a parts pistol. Let me know if you have any leads, greatly appreciated. ![]()

EBAY would be your best bet,
Maybe someone here knows who made the sight...

It looks like it might have made by Millett.

Yeah, i'll have to check ebay periodically. I messaged one guy who is selling a AM2 parts kit, but its a 6" model and the sight is the "longhorn" style. He said he didn't have my style of sight but he'd keep an eye out.
Thanks Eagle, I already bought that specific sight even though its the wrong style. I have bough ta bunch of parts from InterArms, they sell pretty good stuff. Eventually I may just have buy a parts gun or a working one in rough shape and strip it, sadly. |

That’s a millet sight. I can’t look until next week but I think I have a couple for AM IIs.
Looks like someone was trying to elevate the sight more to adjust point of aim and broke it. Shoot me a PM Jason.

Thanks Bullseye, but that one won't fit my model unfortunately. Jason, I'll message you

While it appears to be a Millett sight...the milled area it fits in looks much like a Colt cutout for the Colt Accro or Elliason rear sights. It makes little sense for the Automag II design to use a custom rear sight when they could easily and more inexpensively sourced a design already produced.
I could well be wrong on that...but it does look very similar without having one to test. If so...Kensight makes the Accro and Elliason sights now...or find a Millett made for a Colt. If it's a proprietary Millett sight...it might be tough to source.

Thanks for the info, those sights do look correct but there's only one picture on the Kensight page per item. I'll try to contact them and get additional pictures, I'll need to know if the holes are drilled in the bottom of the sight for the firing pin retention pin and the leveling springs.
