i have only two things that ever belonged to my great grandpa, his single shot 12 ga, and his .22.
i have recently taken up squirrel hunting and would love to take a step back in time and hunt with the same gun he did but there is a problem. the gun has no sights.
the rifle is a springfield model 56 manufactured by J stevens arms company. it fires .22 s,l,&lr from a 5 round magazine.
the front sight still has the ramp but no blade and there is nothing for a rear sight. on the rear left side of the reciever their is a place for a peep sight and i have found pictures of these guns with peep sights but i can not find any for sale. (the attached image is where the peep sight would mount if it helps)
i am not as concerned about getting something that is factory correct as i am about getting someting that will work.
i thought that bob's gun shop would have them but i cant find any peep sights for it (if you can, a part # and a link would be awesome)
if their is any other information that would be helpful just ask and i will be more than happy to tell you everything i know!
thanks in advance!
