Barrel Peep Sight

My thought also. But, for personal use and wants it is a very clever idea. A standard, but flip up/down sight mounted up the barrel would make the rifle very versatile no matter where being used.

Would you please tell me where you got this peep sight and do you know if it is still available?

Between the sights and paper patch bullets this has really been a learning curve. With everything I have read and from all of your help I have learned a lot and appreciate the help.
Here what I now have: Dimick like Mountain muzzleloader which will receive both barrels and they are 45 cal made by Oregon Barrel. The first barrel is 1 a 18" twist with Malcom 33" period scope.
The second barrel is a 1 in 24" twist barrel attached with a Rough and Ready MVA rear ladder sight and their front peep sight with inserts. I attached the rear sight as close to the breach as possible, but still staying on the barrel. After reading some of the bloggers I thought I might have made a mistake, but it works well. I did not want a tang sight because of the barrel change.
For my best groups I have found 1 1/2 F - 90 grains of Swiss powder works best. Single wrapped computer paper for the patches. My last time out with the peep sight I shot a five shot - 1" group. No way can I do that with my inline with a scope using 209 powder. Love the peep - Now to extend the yardage.
