Can anyone point me in right direction to find a front & rear sight for my 19 NRA?
Thanks
Bob

Front wouldn't be as hard as the rear peep.

They show up on Ebay from time to time but get pricey if they're listed correctly as a Savage peep sight.

If you are looking for period correct factory sights you will have to determine the approximate year your gun was made first. Savage used some different sight sets on these over the years. The first rear was the No 5 with a single mounting hole, then a No 5 with two mounting holes of different size, the No 10 with two holes of different size (same mounting holes as the No 5) and the last was the No 15 with two holes the same size (but a different size than either of the holes on the earlier sights and a different spacing). The front sights on early guns was a tall heavy leaf, later guns had a hooded sight with changeable inserts.

Left to right-
No 15 (the last used), early No 5, later No 5, No 10, Redfield aftermarket for early mounting holes and Marble's Goss for early mounting holes.

This shows both front sights that were used, the No 6 & No 25 -
