@txradioguy It must have been around 1966 when I picked mine up. I didn't have it long at all before I mounted a William's Fool Proof peep sight on it. After that gun I've put a Fool Proof on all my rifles that I didn't scope. I even put a peep sight on my flintlock, but it was a tang mounted folding sight. And I've never scoped a lever gun.
