I need a rear sight for a Cook and Brothers Enfield carbine. Any body know where I can get one. A repro is preferred.

Dan, What does it look like? A repro enfield carbine?

If you look in Confederate Carbines & Musketoons by Dr. Murphy he's got 26 pages with photos of sights on multiple Cook carbines. All but one looks like a slightly higher version of a Mississippi rifle block rear sight. The other one is a European looking leaf sight. He only says "The rear sight is a fairly large single leaf type". He doesn't mention having seen it on any other Cooks, nor speculates whether or not he feels it's original to that gun.
Dan,
You checked with S&S?
