Hello,

As part of a trade, I am now in possession of a Springfield 1903, serial # 887030. A 1903 has been on the must have list for a while, so I'm stoked. However, the previous owner planned to create a faux "sniper" rifle. He did a good job turning and inletting the bolt handle to clear a scope, but removed the front and rear sights and can't find them.

Also appears that the rifle used to have aftermarket sights, as the rear of the receiver is drilled and tapped and there is at least a part of the front sight base remaining. Please see included photos.

Questions: What parts do I need to replace the missing sights? Where can I order them from? Do you recognize the holes in the rear of the receiver and the black front sight base? Peep sights would be great if I can figure out which sights fit the holes and front base.

Thanks in advance...
