Doc:  It looks like the screw holding that ugly William's rear sight on your barrel could be the rear screw for the 1901 sight. 

I've been thinking the same thing but haven't pulled it yet.  I need to do that to know for sure the parts I'll need.

I didn't buy the rifle with any promise of the stripped sight parts, though the owner relayed that I could have them if he found them.  I have a suspicion that they're probably laying in the bottom of a drawer in his shop or such.  Who knows, maybe he sold them or tossed 'em.   :(

BTW, I absolutely agree that those sights are ugly.  I honestly can't imagine doing that to such a nice rifle, though guess he was focused on function, not form.  Who knows . . .
