Need a rear peepsite for an old Winchester Winder Musket

[gearchecker]

I have an 1885 Winchester Low Wall Winder Musket, that's nearly complete.  I don't know if the caliber is important or not,  It's a 22 short.

I need to find a rear peep sight in the correct threading to complete it.  It's taken me, and a few great collectors that had the parts I've needed, to get it back together.

I'll attach a photo of the rifle fro reference.

Sorry, I can't get all of the images to post correctly.  But you'll get the idea.

Nice looking Winder musket! Apparently the Winder muskets came standard with Lyman receiver sights unless they were ordered with other special sights.  One book says they were Lyman #53 and another book says Lyman #41. Does the base of the sight have any marks of identification?  At least it's a known Lyman sight for what that is worth. I'd search for a Lyman sight with both numbers but mostly the #41(I feel that is the sight you have). Does your rifle have the U.S. stamp on the upper tang?  Good luck in your search!

If you keep coming up dry you might want to look into this company which, I believe, makes reproduction apertures.  That might well meet your need.

I contacted Lyman, and they said that they no longer make a sight apeture for this rifle.  I'll try the apetures and more website.

Let me look , I may have what you need. Do you need the whole assembly or just the screw in eye piece?
