You are most welcome! A true Gentleman, and it was a pleasure meeting you and you're Wife!Smile

As we discussed, Winchester didn't make matched sets, and with only 1000 Eagle Scouts mfg. in 1985, along with the 15,000 Boy Scout rifles mfg. It's not an easy task, matching them up and or finding them, but it was enjoyable and being a former Eagle Scout, I can remember the great times we had and some memories that will last forever in my lifetime!Smile

I will keep an eye out for you as I'm sure others will also!Wink

Tony

i know it’s a long shot but does anyone have any for sale? Matched set or just the Eagle Scout?

Thank you

Randy

I would need confirmation of that from Jeff.

However Madi’s does mention later on 96 peep sights could be had on special order, but will be rarely seen, so maybe it’s right. But I don’t think that would render the 68 into obsolescence.

I stand corrected.

The Model 68 was basically a Model 67 with a hooded front sight and an aperture rear sight. The Model 68 was effectively rendered redundant when its special sights became optional on the Model 67 in August 1943, but the rifle was not actually discontinued until 1944, and deliveries from inventory continued into 1945.

the Model 67 could be ordered with a peep sight I think this is what you have
  

Disagree, the 96A peep sight was standard on the Model 68, and was mounted much farther back.

The only options on the 67 were a Lyman 55W reciever sight and a Lyman 57ES receiver sight which required the safety to be altered.

Standard rear sight was a 32B with a 2C elevator.

In recent years, mostly tub toy grade.

What you have is a 67A that someone put target sights on.
Winchester discontinued the model 68 and added the 67 target as an option in 1943. 
The 68 and 67 were the same except for sights.
I have no clue on the sling swivels but drought they are factory.
  

Thanks alot for the assistance. I was extremely skeptical of originality, but I don't know everything so I had to ask. Take care.
