Yep, meant Lyman #54. I was hoping that it was modified to fit a #54. I wonder if you could tell by the pictures if one would still fit or has too much been taken off. I was planning on looking for a #54 to put on it. I still really like this little rifle and plan on using it with or without the peep. Thanks for the help guys I appreciate it.

Yeah, I meant 54 also. The 1920 tail blocks (bolt sleeves) need not be modified in any way to take a Lyman 54, except a threaded hole on each side for the mounting screws. Lotsa luck finding one. Given the low number of 1920s built 90 years ago it's a wonder any of those sights turn up at all. I searched for years for one and finally gave up and machined one myself.
I always thought that the old Lyman cocking knob sights for Springfield/Krag/Mannlicher-Schoenauer would be a neat application on a 1920. Anyone ever see one done like that?
