That looks interesting.... I don't know of a Lyman 48 that is completely flat in the back to fit, however, a Lyman 56 just might.... I will do some digging to see if the hole spacing matches. Can...

I found it on my local gun trading webpage... back when "private transfers" were legal in Washington. Best $229. "trade" I've made. Every panel had a dent... but the glass is all perfect. My...

I own two... picked them up 25 years ago within two weeks of each other. I liked the appearance of the ornate buttplate & slide. The sight is kind of funky, it slides into the front of the receiver...

I know this is an old thread... but I am curious about the markings inside the slide. That's not a Lyman 57, it's a Lyman 48 sight, left side mount. interested in learning more of the heritage. ...

I was talking with some "older" (I'm 62) gentlemen at the last local gunshow... they mentioned that in the late 1960's - early 1970's that they noticed a change in Winchester / Western brass. The...

I would still try to find room for a "real" Winchester bullet board. Mine is just the large print version... worth $300-$400. A real "Double W" board can bring $25,000. to $30,000. Try to stay...

This isn't accurate... I know early 1940's Redfield base windage screw openings are slightly smaller in diameter than their later production. Something I discovered on a 1903A4 sniper project. ...

Lyman 56 sights are highly sought after... base & staff are steel, not alloy. If you choose to remove the windage staff for scope clearance, don't misplace it... replacing will be painful, nice...
