Lack of peep sights

I had a customer come in last week and wanted a Williams Fool Proof peep sight mounted on his Mauser rifle

WOW, Williams no longer makes a single peep sight to fit a Mauser
Lyman still offers the 57 peep sight for the Mauser ( only for 3 models of rifles )

This customer wanted a Williams to match his other rifle
Thankfully I found a NOS Williams peep in the box, so once it gets here all will be good

Just amazes me how the gun industry has changed so much the past couple of decades

Wow… that’s almost unbelievable! Williams used to be the mainstay of Mauser peep sights.

The world changes.

Optics have gotten so good and reliable.

The need for other types of sights have been greatly reduce.

I'm an old guy and still prefer the ease of handling a rifle without a scope. I still use my Lyman and Redfield steel receiver sights. I only hunt at short ranges to make sure I don't cripple game animals.
