Confirming Rochester….heaven knows why they do not build pumpers like this anymore….Heres one refinished.
OEM Rear sight was too basic ..a piece of bent steel, but ideal for a nice peep sight mod.
They perform as well as a Sharps Innova but steel and alloy components and much better stocks akin to those fitted to a Remington .22 rimfire. Good woods walking tool…

It’s all about cost and not enough of a market for such a price. No company wants to lose money and if they did this they would. We’ve proved that out.
Honestly the only way around it is to put out a limited run where the money can be drawn from marketing to break even.

I've had one many years. Bend a piece of sheet metal and drill two holes and you got a peep sight. Ultra funky trigger blade spoils it.

Does anyone have an example of a Rochester parts list or instruction booklet? Also, has anyone ever seen a Rochester with a rear sight in the position

I hear that…always thought the trigger blade too big, but a nice lot of material on it to carve out one that looks like the one on the Sheridan Streak..

That is the actual OEM rear sight in the pic i added (i kid you not) The screw fixing is behind the 90 degree up turn with the notch which seems the wrong way around, but is intended, just like the Crosman 150 pistol…Later fitted with a Remington style Buckhorn, but its still a superb gun to add a nice little peep to for the woods.Got this
