The purist in my hesitates to do anything to a nice older rifle, so I'm hoping there's a non-invasive, reversible way to accomplish the following:
This rifle has a faux magazine tube under the barrel that I'd like to remove. However, the front barrel band that supports the sight would look silly without the tube; so, is there some kind of front sight that isn't screwed or dovetailed to the barrel that I could press fit or clamp on? its a .22 as you may have guessed.
And, so you can maybe understand the reasoning, I really like the Winchester with the short tube that Paul Newman carried in Hombre, but my income doesn't yet support a vintage Winchester collection!
Thanks in advance. My internet searches turned up diddly, unless the diameter is similar to an AR. That I have not checked yet.
