How do I "scope" an 1858 Remington Carbine?

Several years ago I saw an 1858 Remington Carbine (repro of course),,,
That had a slender brass scope (maybe 3/4") mounted on it.

If I recall correctly the mounts sort of "clamped" on the top strap,,,
Similar to how one would mount a scope on a 3/8" groove.

I own one of the carbine repros and am buying a .44 special cylinder for it,,,
I would love to scope it out like the one I saw years ago.

Does anyone have any idea of how to find scope mounts and that style of brass scope?

Thanks in advance,,,

Thanks Crankylove,,,

For just a few pennies over $28.00,,,
That might be something worth ordering just to try.

Thanks for the link my friend,,,

I'd rather drill & tap the receiver (top strap of frame).

I want the objective piece and eye objective to be far away from the barrel/cylinder gap and the nipples. Those gases can't be good for the lens (you always have to clean them).
