Peep sight for Winchester 9422?

[Bosshoff]

I want to replace the lame v-blade rear sight on a Winchester 9422 with a peep sight. Does anyone have a recomendation? I want something that is not very bulky, and also I want to be able to return the rifle back to the original stock configuration. Thanks.

Check Williams web site for their FP (FoolProof) and 5D models. I used their FP sight on a couple of Marlin lever action guns (.22 and .44). They should have a model that fits and works well on the Win 9422 also. Be aware that in some cases, the existing front sight must be replaced also. For sources, check Brownells or Midway.

IIRC, Williams makes two peep sights that clip into the scope mount grooves, and New England Custom Gun makes one.
All other will require the receiver be D/T'd for the sight, and ALL peep sights will require a higher front sight blade be installed, due to the higher-than-issue line of sight.

Here's what a Williams WGRS looks like:

Here's what the NECG peep looks like:

Some lever guns, like my Marlins, were/are already drilled and tapped for receiver sights. My Win 9422 is not DAT but check yours to see if it has been. With the FP receiver sight, I did NOT have to change front sights on Marlin guns. With high mounted receiver sights, like those that clip into the grooves on top of receiver (as shown in previous post), you may have to replace front sight.
