    Peep Sight for my Seneca

    I am looking for a tang peep sight for my T/C Seneca. As you probably all know, they are scarce as hens' teeth. If I can't find the specific model (#7196) for my rifle, does anybody know how difficult it might be to modify another T/C peep sight to fit? Thanks in advance for your wisdom.
