I aquired a model 14 in a trade several months ago and recently came across a vintage lyman peep sight for it. The current front sight is not original to my knowledge because it is marked marbles. I shot the gun with the current front sight and and peep combination and was nearly 6 inches high at 50 yards. I realise that i will need to replace the front sight with a higher one but i am having a hell of a time finding an original. I have been to several gun shows in both NY and PA and have only located one which was the same height as the current one on the gun. I would really like to make the gun original with a correct sight which i believe should have a set screw. From what i have read the lyman peep i have was a factory option on this model so i would believe there would have been a front sight produced for it. If anyone would have a source for this sight i would appreciate it, and i would also like to know the recomended height for the front sight. I have tried all the web sites recomended on the Remington site with no luck.
Thanks
