An update: Steve Earle Products is making an Olympic sight mount for the 513T:



This could be used for the small format sights, but you'd have to change the attaching screw of the sight.

Here's a photo of the Redfield mounting block on a 37-

This block allows the use of the Redfield Olympic, International and Palma receiver sights.

The original Redfield made mounts are scarce, and there have been issues with some of the reproductions.

I have noticed that Steve Earle Products has listed a Redfield mount for the Remington 37:



I haven't seen one of these on a 37, but given Steve's reputation for quality, I'm sure this would be the way to go.

I fitted one of my Remington 513T rifles with a Parker Hale hooded front sight, available used from SARCO for a very reasonable price. It came with a base and set of different new inserts.

The Base has 2 holes that do not pair up with the 2 holes on the front of the Barrel, but the contour is correct. I simply used one screw to secure it.

For a rear sight, I used a high base Williams.
