After long searches for PH ring sights I am giving up that chase, plus removing the blade from the barrel is also problematic.

I bought a B-Square part that was supposed to just screw on and that was a no go as the rifle lacks the rear mounting holes for it.

I found a local gunsmith and after a long discussion he's been given free reign to do as he sees fit to mount a scope. I do not see that I can lose here, the rifle is not worth enough if the mount project does not work. I think it just might though!

I shot a couple times over the summer and started to actually see results despite the blade sights jumping and what not, there is still hope......
