I have the same gun. The original iron sights were dovetailed with one supporting screw not screwed on. Describe the dovetail, it should be near the stock side of the single screw.

I have seen at least one that has the rear sight dovetailed into the rail perhaps your rail is not original? and the rear sight went with the old rail when changed. if you have the scope mount on it you could use a sight xs sight systems that mounts a backup peep on the rail at the rear most end.

I have one of those btw it seems well made. I have it to mount on my rendition of a "scout" rifle build that I"m doing from a Ishapore SMLE. I haven't finished the project yet so have not actually used it.
