WOW, and it sold for $232! What a steal!!! Bummer I did not see it before it closed. I have a nice 03 build coming together that would have looked nice on.

I was thinking of bidding on it but I did not. When it was first put up for bid it was listed for 250.00. It would seem with cnc machining these days somebody would build duplicates like these. I have a Newton rifle with a Newton bolt mounted peep and its awsome to shoot with. I am a sucker for peep sights of all types, Hell I buy them even if I dont have a rifle that they fit. Currently I have 11 peep sighted rifles and the most modern of the bunch is a Rem721 .30-06.Built in 1950. And the ones that have been drilled and tapped I will only put period scopes on them.

Looks to me like it could probably be made from a Lyman "tang" style peep sight -- welded to an 03 bolt knob. Barstooler | |||

me too. | |||

Barstooler you might be correct about that... The only bolt peeps I have seen that Lyman built were actually dovetailed into the end of the bolt.

I bought it. That is actually a windgage adjustment. Is it original? Don't know and don't care | |||

Should have it in hand in a day or two and believe it to be 100% Lyman. | |||

I have one that has a "socket" instead of a dovetail, looks a bit like the one in the thread; set screws on it, I believe to hold it in place for soldering. | |||
|
| One of Us |
On this one the socket is dovetailed to the cocking head and the sight body is then dovetailed to it with a threaded gizmo that allows for windgage adjustment- no banging/hammering/hamfisted/roughnecking required. | |||

kda55 Canyou post better pics of how it was fitted than Ebay did? Sounds like a 1 of a kind. cal30 If it cant be Grown it has to be Mined!

I received it today and it is really nice. I will get pictures this weekend and see if I can get them posted. Really looks to be more of a target sight than a hunting sight- I can fix that! | |||

Fine piece! Quite a piece for the money too, I certainly would not make you one for that price.

Kda55 Do you have a nice Springfield to put it on? Having that sight Id spoil myself and buy me a nice Griffin&Howe in a .35 Whelen. That windage part of the sight may even be G&H design. All I can say is it is CLASSY. What part of Wyoming do you call home? Cal30 If it cant be Grown it has to be Mined! Devoted member of Newmont mining company Underground Mine rescue team.

Based on the style of the number stamps I would say it is all Lyman factory workmanship. I bought this for a future project stalking type rifle; just aquiring parts as they come available. I am in the Casper area. | |||

Very cool sight! I saw one for an Enfield 1917 a while back on ebay that was made by Belding & Mull I believe... There used to be a fellow forum member here that was making some nice bolt mounted peeps for a reasonable price, but unfortunately I had no rifle for it! Anyways, yours ought to add a lot of class to an old springfield! | |||

Wow that's a nice old Lyman! I just e-mailed Rusty, too. A cocking piece sight would be awesome on a .318 W-R project ... There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

Bummer, That is really nice. I have a Mannlicher that would work on. | |||
