Russ GouldLyman Tang Sight Stem
Need one of the old style w interrupted thread, for an R25 tang sight but I am thinking the stems fit multiple bases. Lyman has discontinued this style of sight, their current stems have complete threads. I suppose I could make one but don't have anything to copy. Any help would be appreciated.

Russ GouldFWIW there is no source for parts for these older Lyman sights, other than Ebay etc. I did find a guy in MI that used to work for Marbles, who said he might have a stem. But even he told me it was impossible to find the stems with the little internal folding aperture, he only had one with a screw-in aperture. I also found, on Buffalo Arms, an aftermarket stem made by Red River with windage adjustment, spendy and only worth while for a pretty sophisticated setup. In my case, I just need a simple sight for a Rem 25 that I use for pest control on the ranch.
