I've got a sporterized Mk I that's been drilled and tapped for a scope (I posted pictures a while back.) Now, I know what that means for collectibility, but I'm not really concerned about the rifle as a collector's item - I'd actually like to shoot it in my gun club's high power and military matches. Obviously, that's a no-go with a scope and they're looking askance at it with the current stock.

So...essentially, what I have to start with is a barreled receiver, I guess. So obviously I need a stock and related accessories. But my big question is about the sights. The front sight has been replaced with a Marbles blade, but it's in the original dovetailed band, so I have a starting point. What about the rear sight? It appears that there are two drilled and tapped holes on the right side of the rear of the action that were used at some point...did it have a peep sight there? Or was that yet another "aftermarket" fiddling? And where do I go to buy a complete rear sight?

Any suggestions would be welcome. I'm not aiming for historical accuracy - just a "legal" shooter...too much has been altered on this gun to get too crazy about correctness, I think.
