So my Mossberg 44US has a few custom parts on it. When we got it from CMP, there were a few bits missing. The standard fire/safe buttons are green and red. Mine didn't have the green, so my dad machined a plastic button in black to fit in there. I've got the very much adjustable rear peep sight, which I think came standard, and I've seen for sale before. The one part I have that's very much not standard is the front sight. The 44US came with a blade sight, what I have is a ring. Now my girlfriend loves this gun with a passion, and we've agreed that we're going to get her one for her 21st, but I have no idea where this sight came from. Has anybody seen one like this before? Sorry for the quality, but I'm not too good at keeping a steady camera.

Oops, I found it. It's a Lyman 17. Now I know.

I like the post sights a lot more than the rings.

Anyway, my friend's 44 has no magazine, any idea on where to get one?

Check Gunbroker? I found a site that sells them, but I forget what the address is.

Do you know the difference between the models? I've found M44 US and M44US (b) through (d).

Also, do you know if anyone sells the inserts separately from the front sight?

Yeah, check that page up top there, for Lyman. There's a listing for an insert set.
