    Need better sights for 1903a1

    Looking for stock looking front and rear sights that will give me a better sight picture for my 1903.
    Have heard Bill Bentz make a replacement rear sight blade with better peep hole and thicker USMC front sight. Can't find any pics of his work anywhere.
    Anyone have his work on their rifle that they can show?
    Not interested in putting a scope on it just yet.

    You can also take a spare rear sight slide and drill a larger peep hole in it, keeping the original slide for posterity. A Marine Corps front sight is a bonus, and easily made. Again, keep the original front sight for posterity.
