Hello everyone, I recently purchased this rifle from a friend who was short on cash. It is a post 64 1894 in 30-30 that dates to the early 70’s. I figured it would make a fun project and with everything else in the gun world being priced into oblivion it was within my budget. The finish on this thing is rough and I have been toying with the idea of having it cerakoted and making it my rain gun for deer season. I removed the god awful side mount scope and have to replace the empty screw holes and the rear sight which is missing.

I would recommend simply looking up the rifle at the Numrich gun parts website (https://www.gunpartscorp.com/) to look at/order the screws or original rear sight. Also, Marble Arms sells excellent sights for many rifles, including yours. Just might take a while looking through their website which isn't laid out very efficiently. Still, I got a wonderful tang-mounted peep for my Henry Big Boy.

Screw size is most likely #6-48 or #8-40 tpi. If you are after a peep sight, the Williams Foolproof or 5D model for your firearm are a good useable sight ( not sure on the 5D). If you are concerned about the small peep it can be removed (unscrewed) which leaves a bigger opening almost like a ghost ring sight. Good luck.
