When you get it there you can then make a temporary front sight out of bondo. You want to get the front sight centered to a place it's close to zeroed for windage when the rear adjustment is in the middle of its range. (if the rifle shoots left move the top of the ramp to the left) You are only interested in windage at this point. Gently tap the sight so the spot goes toward your bullet holes. Heat the barrel up until the solder melts. If the windage is off place the clamp on the sight and barrel so it's held in place. Take a propane torch and a clamp with you. Next go to a range and shoot a BIG target, and see if you are on for windage. Cut a spot on the rear edge of the ramp so you can see it from the rear, as you look through the peep. Set you rear peep in the center of its windage range. The reason is that a soldered joint can be moved.
Now, take the highest front sight ramp you can buy and fit it to the barrel. Then you need only sock down the 6X48 screws that hold the sight on. Now you can tap the holes to cut your threads.
Only drill as deep as the bevel of the bit. Now, take a #28 drill and go through the mounting holes and spot the receiver. Get it glued into place where you want it before you do anything else. This allows you to move it a bit and make sure you have it square and level. Gents, If you want to mount a peep sight on one of those old rifles the procedure is actually fairly easy.ġst, mount the rear sight with super glue.
