    Winchester 1917 Sight Questions

    Hello there. I am new to the board. I traded for a Winchester 1917 a few months back. Whoever owned it before removed the front and rear sights and drilled it for a scope. I plan on using it as a hunting rifle so a scope is just fine for me. However, it would still be cool to have the iron sights back on it. First of all, is there any chance of putting the stock sights back on it? And if I were able to, would I be able to have a scope on at the same time? I'm on of those guys who like back-up plans so if I'm out hunting and ruin my scope, it would be nice to remove the scope and go iron sights. Thanks in advance for any input.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.
