I have an old .22 rifle from my dad.
It is a Stevens “Springfield 87M” that had a peep sight mounted on it in years past. I can’t tell what brand it is, no name appears, but I think if there was it was cut away when the sight was fitted. My issue is the aperture appears to be the thickness of a frog hair to these old eyes but I guess it’s a .05”. I want to get a wider one, say .1”, but I don’t know if there is a difference in these apertures between say Williams or Lyman, etc. the outside diameter is .50” and the threaded part appears to be about .21”.
Any thoughts from the cognoscenti up here?
