Best to ask Nate Kiowa Jones, also known as Steve. His links and DVD should help you to do the job yourself if you want to. www.stevesguns.com I think is the website.

Had one put on mine 2 years ago, he charged $30. Would of only charged $5 per hole but he had to take action apart so he wouldnt drill to deep, was a little peeved about it at first , but he did a 1st rate job and it was well worth it. But had gotten other quotes of $40 to $100.

It's a simple task if you're a little bit handy with tools.

There's a very good how to article here.

If I had another M-92 to peep, I'd put an XS peep atop the receiver siderails, straddling the locking lugs, over the bolt top - one hole D/T on each side, leaving the sides neat/clear.

Me too Pete. I mounted a Williams on mine myself, but I like the look of the XS on top better. If you decide to do it yourself, make sure you mount the top of the base flush with the top of the locking bolts. It is real common to have the sight mounted too low on the receiver if you don't study it carefully before you start drilling. Don't ask me how I know! :oops:
