Lyman WR21 sight for 1895

[Hoof Hearted]

I recently traded one of my 2nd gen Colts for an 1895 Winchester (1915 rifle in 30 US) and it had the Lyman "saddle" sight rear hole. I've always liked those sights for the "edsel" factor they have and never had the stones to mount one on an 1886 so I thought, "self....now is the time!".

Holy Moly These have gone up in value (if you can find one!~).
Well have no fear for there is a reason to recreate everything now, enter Providence Tool Company the maker of the Peabody rifles (don't look or you'll want one).

He makes a very nice repop of the Lyman 21 pattern sight. It is easy to install (if you have tools and are handy) and it works really well! Oh and it is adjustable for windage as the eyepice slided in a groove, laterally, on the top of the sight.

Here it is installed on my new 1895:



I think I need to antique the brass pointer a bit.
