The TC Hunter peep will fit. It's a good sight. You may have to add a shim between the sight base and the tang if you don't get the elevation you need. That's no big deal though. A 1/8" thick strip of brass from the hardware store will do it. Most hardwares have an assortment of brass and aluminum round, square and flat stock in twelve inch lengths and in various thicknesses and diameters. Mine has the 1/8" thick flat stock in 1/2" and 1" widths.

I think the 57 might work without interfering even on the left hand model. |
Huntaway don't you have a 57 peep on your lefty flintlock
|
The Lyman peep sight will work on the lefthand rifles no problem. There are two types. One is for the DeerStalker and the other is for the GPR. I have them on mine. The GPR sight has wedge that comess with it.

I didn't mean it wouldn't fit. It's just too bulky and modern looking.
I found this one from XS. Anybody seen one mounted? http://www.midwayusa.com/product/156...ins-steel-blue |
Semi..........I found an old thread of your GPR with a homemade peep you made in the standard rear sight position. How did that work for you?
I'm trying to keep the gun as original as possible, but I need better sights. I'll use the stock primitive sight if I can't find a peep that doesn't look too bad. The Lyman 57 is horrible on a Hawken style gun IMO. |
