I've got an old Lyman tang sight marked lightly WS on the underside. According to charts on the internet this sight fits the Winchester 62, 1906 and another rifle, none of which I own.
I'd like to mount the WS sight on a Model 94. The hole spacing is right for the 94, and the tang's curvature fits the underside of the sight base. I'm reasonably sure the sight's adjustment range will suit what I need on the 94.
Why would Lyman have used different codes for the different guns if the same sight fit all of them? Or am I missing something here?
