99C detachable magazine, or early 1900s 99C?

If the detachable magazine 99C, it would not have come from the factory with peep sights installed, they were an aftermarket option.

At that time, Lyman and Williams both made receiver mounted peep sights. They should be a bit easier to find.

If you have an early 1900s C, then you're going to have a MUCH harder time of it. Lyman peep sights were a factory extra option up to about 1920, but they are uncommon, hard to find, and expensive as hell.
