Hey everyone,

Just showing off my new ( Used ) Lyman 438 Field Scope (4X), with Target Micrometer click mounts, I recently picked up from Gunbroker.

They were in production from " 1930 - 1947 " ( First production 3X / Later production 4X ), and offered in two types of mounts.


Photo example: Unmarked similar type, mounted on a Remington 513T.








Reticules: Twisted wire post & circle, which were listed as " Aperture ".
(Old Gunsights & Rifle Scopes: Nick Stroebel)

It had some old dust & oil on the micrometer adjustments. So, I disassembled them for cleaning.

Somebody, had it previously cleaned / rebuilt ? (my opinion).

The plunger tension springs (3) were like new, Micrometer threads were very clean (no rust) & the glass was very clear.

That's nice and the view is good suggesting it was well cared for or possibly rebuilt. Nice find. Very nice.

"I like your style, Dude"

Thanks Guys..!

I have a very modest collection of older " .22 Rimfire Rifles ", with old style Scope Blocks ( Unertl / Lyman ) along with a few Scopes.

I mounted the " Lyman 438 Scope " on a Savage Model 19 NRA.
