My wife and I took our M57, M47 and “new” Mossberg 144LSB to the range recently. The M57 had the rear peep sight when I bought it but no front globe, so I designed one and 3D printed it and an aperture, which is what we shot it with. It was mainly testing to ensure I have the correct height for the globe. I finished the design and will make it and some new aperture disks with varying size centers. I’ll post some pics when I get it finished.
The M47 had rear peep but no front globe so I added a Lyman A17 (before getting the 3D printer). We were getting it dialed in and having fun. It was mid 80’s, light wind, beautiful day. We are really loving shooting peep sights.
The pics are of M47 targets shot at 50 yards. Don’t judge too harshly, still figuring out the correct aperture size… This was shooting CCI and Aquila subsonics

Good shooting. I have 3 M47’s and all are very accurate. Just one M57 and I have never shot it. Big Larry

The M57 may outshoot the 47, we’ll find out eventually!

You may be right about the 57, Shawn, mine is quite a shooter and a beautiful rifle to boot!

What I hoped would happen, happened – my wife shot the 57 and is in love with it.
Here are some targets from the 144LSB, 50 yards with peep sights.
