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?

I would think those parts would interchange, however if they won't sell them then It is kind of a mute point.

I'd watch Ebay for parts. They show up regularly.
