Would you believe that I found a rifle, Identical to one that I just picked up, on an auction site

Mine unfortunately, has a few changes. Someone swapped the bolt with one that is color cased, has a lyman tang site that fits over the bolt lever, they replaced the rear tangent site with two folding lymans, and opened up the front dovetail to take a 5/8 bead. Set triggers as well.
And it appears nearly unfired.

Oh, and someone left it in a barn for a number of years. Near some salt.

Its already a work in progress

I'll consider posting pix.

I can't find a suitable rear so I may mill a base and fit it to a sight from a broomhandle.
If anyone has a better Idea, or the correct sight, please let me know.

Cheers,

Tom
