Hello friends,
I recently bought a Springfield(Remington) 1903 (not an -03A) that has been sporterized. The barrel has been shortened and the front and rear sights have been replaced. The rear sight is a Williams WGRS (I think) that has been mounted in the same general area as the original military sight. Bubba got the rear sight slightly out of alignment. I would send photos but unfortunately the rifle is still in limbo in the California 10 day waiting period (I know, I know).
My question is this: What are my options for a rear peep sight? I have had great results with the Skinner peep sight on my lever action and I was wondering if there was a similar concept available for this rifle.
I have searched the sight makers and most of them require drilling and mounting on the side of the receiver, for example the Lyman 5D, etc. Does anyone make a small peep the mounts to the top of the rear "hump"?
Thanks in advance for your help, this is my new winter project.
