A query for forum lever shooters - particularly if you have an older steel Lyman 66 sight and a newer aluminium to compare.
I have a older steel sight that is missing elevation screw, screw head, click spring and set screw.

Parts 11, 12, 13, 14 in this diagram.
My question is - will the new parts which Lyman advertises on it's website for the modern aluminium sight fit my older steel components? I have tried Lyman email enquiry but they were not helpful - stated I needed to buy a whole new sight from them!
Any thoughts?
