Both the Williams Gun Sight Co, and I, respectfully beg to differ.
I've used them in several different apps, both on military & commercial rifles - they are only a D/T application if D/T is req'd for attachment on a particular rifle (for which the issue Williams sight must also be modified).
The Williams WM-96 Peep is made as a drop-in replacement for the military rear barrel sight blade/spring, etc - the front tongue of the WM-96 hooking under the military sight base's forward pivot pin for the original military sight leaf.
This "no-gunsmithing" Peepsight is installed via simply removing the military sight's forward crosspin, removing the old sight blade - replacing it with the WM-96 - and reinstalling the crosspin prior to zeroing.
Click on this link to the Williams catalog & scroll to page 9 for the military sights, including the WM-96 Peep on the lower RH corner of that page:

The Williams WSKS Peep (Arpeture) & WAK47 Peep (Aperture) sights are the same drop-in peep sight with a shorter forward tongue, to fit the military sight base of those particular rifles.
