When you find a perfectly serviceable bolt-gun for $100 and start thinking about changes and upgrades...
You kind of bump into most changes and upgrades cost more than you've paid for the gun!
I'm feeling a bit whimsical about it.
Because it already has a front sight, I think it needs a rear too.
One option is to have a rear sight soldered on where the one it came from Golden State with was. This would let me keep the scope.
The whimsical option is to put a Lyman 57SME peep on the receiver. This would force me to remove the scope. Update: One plus of this would be that the stripper guide could be used again.
A Lyman sight would be fitting with the age of the gun.
If I pursue this route of whimsy, I'd end up looking for walnut to replace theplasticpolymer synthetic stock.
What's to do?
I guess first principles should be to see if it shoots consistently.
