I have a Lyman 66A receiver peep sight, that I want to put on a 1949 model 71.
I’m assuming the rifle came drilled and tapped for the receiver peep sight. Being it’s a 1949 production.
However my 66A sight is missing the mounting screws. Can anyone tell me the proper screw size and length for mounting this sight?
Thanks, Dave

Dave,
Yes, if it is a 1949 production Model 71, it was factory drilled and tapped for a receiver mounted peep sight. Specifically, for a Lyman No. 56. The screws are 6-48 and .625″ long.
