The Keith rifle listed on Amoskeag's march preview has a sight like this on it. Tom ps...Gary Bush, I lost your email address, PM me and I will email you more photos.

I wonder if you couldn't silver solder or TIG weld the sight to the bolt sleeve for a neater look if something similar was wanted for a special project?

I haven't shot the rifle yet, it will be interesting to see it in action. The screws holding it to the cocking piece look better in person. Tom

Tom It looks to me like the sight is screwed to the bolt sleeve, not the cocking piece. That to me, is the appealing feature of the sight. Is this not correct? Not trying to be a smarty, I just want to clarify.

My guess is that by the time this sight was developed, scopes were taking over as the primary sight system and this one was too late to develop any following.

While we have come to think of the 48 as the classic peep it is easily damaged with the protruding knobs and tiny screws. Your peep appears to be petite and durable. Wish I had one. Dennis Dennis
