Jim,
The only tang sight Winchester had for the 73 that early would of been the Peep sight with the external spring and slapping one of those on there is going to hurt and thats if you can find one. A original is worth many thousands of dollars. There was a repo of it made many years ago but even those go for big bucks.

Jim,
Take a look at the Summer 2020 issue of the Winchester collector. Chris Hartman did a article of his early 73 with the tang sight on it and has the pictures you want with measurements if your going to make a repo.
