35 Whelen build?

[Plain Old Dave]

Found a ratty old 1917 Sporter, and aim to make a Depression era .35 Whelen Sporter out of her. What rear sights are still made?

That begs for a good receiver sight.

Thinking Lyman 57. Boyd's has a good looking classic stock with a 1/2" recoil pad. That and a Hunter Whelen sling. It's a "30 Govt 1906" so a JES rebore is in order.
