So I have my 1886 with a Lyman tang sight. It's a modern one but back in the day they came out of the factory with one, if the buyer wanted. So It's periodically correct.
Frankly Im a fan of the peep sight, it works.BUUUT... Iv'e always wanted a Creedmore Vernier style sight. I just think they look awesome! The vernier sight itself is 75$ US which will be around 120$ Canadian with shipping. The base for the 1886 ( JUST THE MOUNTING BASE) is 96$US. MORE THEN THE SIGHT ITSELF!
So, I was wondering if Just the creedmore sight could fit in the Lyman sight base. I would take off the Lyman sight from it's base that is already mounted into the rifle, and take the base off the creedmore sight and mount it to the Lyman base.
Could this possible work? The Sights both have the same type of circular/ round pivoting base.
