I recently picked up a Savage No4 M1icon* which dates to approximately early 1944. Somewhere in its past it has been 'sporterized'. The fore stock has been cut down, the front sight guard is missing and the rear sight was removed and replaced with a Williams blade sight mounted on the barrel. I plan to use the gun as a regular 'shooter', so I don't really mind the fore stock as it is. I plan to replace the fore sight guard, both for the extra protection and the aesthetic look of the gun.
My real problem is the rear sight. In my opinion, the Williams sight looks out of place, and I prefer a peep sight anyway. Is it worth the time and money to replace the rear sight with the more traditional flip up rear sight
