Need help replacing semi-custom rifle front sight

Hello, I have the following rifle that was sold then returned
with damage to the front sight hood. (buyer or UPS crunched it)
(sorry i would just post the front sight hood, but photobucket isnt speaking to my mac)
pics 6 and 17 (before getting crunched)
Of course now i have a returned semi-custom rifle that is incomplete.
to make matters worse, it is coated, so I need to have it sprayed to match. It is steel, slides on a little rail, and held in place with a detent
Can anyone identify it? I have called the guy who built it, but he hasent called me back.
I dont know if he made it or if there are others out there. Please let me know if you can help find a similar one!
What a PITA, thanks!

More importantly, I want to keep as the guy built it also, so its not a mix of several guys work, if i cant get a hold of the builder.
