The sights and Swiss butt were robbed at some point what is the likelihood of finding the correct parts to put it back together. The receiver has some case color left

I sincerely doubt that you want to spend the effort and the great expense to replace the sights that your low-wall letters with. A decent condition graduated peep sight and Winchester globe front sight will cost approximately $1,200, which is more than the rifle is worth with the non-factory original holes drilled & tapped in the barrel for the scope. Frankly, my recommendation is to leave the scope on it and shoot it.

Welcome, Jim!
It appears a previous custodian has elected to modify your Single Shot to make it a better shooter, at least for his purposes. When you consider the price Bert mentioned for the sights and the cost and effort in obtaining a Swiss butt and plate the proposition seems cost-prohibitive, especially considering it will never be an “original” gun again. If the bore is good it will make a great little shooter. If the bore is not to your liking I’d consider relining it.
