I just bought a Lyman tang sight stamped "WA". It shows to fit a 63 however if it does you’d have to screw to the rear position into the wood/ stock. Is that how these work?

Book shows it to fit both
What book? Looking in both The Sight Book (Madis) p 153 and Old Gunsights and Rifle Scopes (Stroebel) p. 26 list only the 1903.

WA is for Winchester Model 1903, all calibers

"All calibers" ❓
I think Stroebel was a bit confused.

Gene,
In the Lyman chapter, Stroebel omitted the Model 63. If you look in the Marbles chapter, he correctly listed the W8 sight for both the Model 1903 and 63.
