I have recently purchased a nicely sporterized Springfield 1903. It is wearing a Redfield hooded front ramp sight. The reciever is tapped for a scope and is also tapped for a Lyman type rear sight. The stock has a notch took out of it for the sight. I am wondering how high the blade of the front sight has to be to be able to use the Lyman 57 peep sight. The Redfield looks a little low. I don't beieve the barrel has been altered, it just has a aftermarket sight where the GI one should be.
I am wanting to shoot this rifle very bad, but no rear sight is holding me back.
Thank you for any help. Aye Kay.

PS It's in the right serial number range not to worry about the reciever.
