I have a Springfield M1903A1, built in 1931. As far as I know, the leaf sight is original to the rifle. I don't shoot it much anymore because of the recoil and the hard-to-use sights. I can handle the recoil with a slip-on pad, but at age 70 I can't see well through the (e) peep hole for shots 100-200 yards out. I'm considering buying second leaf sight and drilling out the peep hole, but I keep coming across different sight "types". I just found one that's a "type 7".
Questions:
1. Can I assume all M1903 and M1903A1 leaf sights will fit on my rifle?
2. Anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks for your input.
