I'm just not compelled to change "Silvia" from her original condition.Hey Bill, I'm not suggesting you modify your "Sylvia". Sorry if I made it sound that way. Just pointing out for the group that it isn't a big deal to add a Williams peep if you want one.Jon

The sight is a bolt on, but only if your 'streak is drilled and tapped. That was an option on the early ones but later became standard. They are two holes on the breech, opposite side of the cam plate. If yours is NOT drilled and Tapped it can be done. The Williams sight is # 5D-SHready for this... 5 Dollar - SHeridan as that was what is cost way back when. On PA it is rebranded to "AirVentury" but the same site.
I like the idea of the lowlight peep sight the the brass ring, but I don't want to buy one to figure out if it'll work well for me. long story short I pressed a " brass "grommet into the aperture on my gun and now I've basically got the same thing.

That is absolutely ingenious David. Can I ask how you came up with that idea?
Neat trick w/the grommet! I'd guess the peep hole is 0.150".
