Don’t be afraid to put a really, really low-profile rear sight on the gun when you get it.
It will make you a more consistent shooter.

Thanks! And if I do pull the proverbial trigger on it I was thinking of looking into that. But I’d try without first Maybe

You can glue a sight on to try it out first, then remove it later if you want.

Here's the national record for smoothbores at the NMLRA. Shot at 50 yards, 13 shots, throw out your worst three. This score a 99 out of 100. Three inch group. Unfortunately, I didn't shoot the target but I did make the gun. .55 cal no rear sight and a simple pull trigger. I do own the gun now.

That is good shooting! Did this gun have a “legal” sight in the form of a groove on tang and/or barrel?

No grooves anywhere. This record was set back in 1999. Best I personally ever did was a 94.

I am impressed by both the lack of a rear sight and a 94!
