Do they still make these

@MSgtdodge1942 not since 1955.
They are fairly common on the used market if you look hard but a lot of them are pretty rough. I found mine in a local gun shop three years ago.

I have one with a factory peep site. Very rare. My brother bought one with the peep site groove but none of the parts. Using mine as a quide he machined the parts. He made extras in case you need some. Between me and my brothers we may have 25 or 30 of these fine old collectables. They were never very fancy but accurate and fun to shoot. We all learn to shoot on Dad's.

@countrymusicken Yes those areVERY rare with the peep sights. I've only seen pictures of them in old advertisements. Definitely KEEP that one!

Do not try to put a scope on this rifle unless you really know what you are doing. The receiver metal is thin and it is easy to put a screw in too deep and bind up the bolt. My brother bought one cheap that was not working and was able to file down the screw and made it work. A friend glued on a scope with black Shoe Goo and it held for a couple of years.

@countrymusicken I'd never try and scope mine. It bugs me to see a vintage firearm with "extra holes" in it. Usually they do such a poor job of it that it could never pass for factory or profesional gunsmith work.
