I don't remember the thread it was on, but someone had a picture of rifle that had a homemade peep sight, does anyone remember this? It looked like it was very simple yet functional.

What type of firearm?

Here's an oldie: http://www.castbullet.com/makeit/rr.htm

I believe it was a lever action, but I don't remember the brand.

Not home made but sturdy and works well.

I've got your epoxy right here!

I did build a rear sight for a $10 shotgun out of epoxy as a temporary thing to prove a concept, but it has since been removed (I swear I'll never live that down).
Since it worked, I am building and installing custom iron sights on that gun. The front sight is finished:

All pieces of both sights were made by me from scratch, including that brass bead on the front sight.
I do good work when there is good reason to do it.

Nice barrel band front sight there, Tim.

Tom, there is a thread or two in the gunsmithing section that had a picture of a pretty good looking homemade sight on a Mauser. One of these days I am going to copy it. I know it isn't a lever action, but the design would be easy to modify.

By the way, here's a front sight that I made for Lovelife's Mauser:

He installed the fiber optic wire on his end.
Here's the front sight that I made for my wildcat:
