I have a PH 1200TX and was thinking of putting a scope sight on it. However, this rifle appeared at a local shop with a scope already fitted that looked cheap to me, so I went to look at it and...

My rifle has the roll pin front sight marked 045. The barrel is a Winchester dated 02 -19 so the original one has been replaced at some point as the rifle is an Eddystone. The charger slots look...
