Hi Gary,

Came across this one in the current RIA catalog. Doesn’t letter with the Lyman 21 receiver sight though.

Letter also does not show it as a takedown.

Bert had sent this link over to me a couple weeks ago. The lack of the takedown note doesn’t really bother me. How could you add the takedown? As for the L21 sight, I have seen (and I own one) others that just say Lyman front and rear, but they have the 21. That’s a topic for debate, but I think it could be correct.

At that end of the day, this is a very desirable little short rifle. the TD helps it quite a bit, but the ELW on a 20″ is what brings the rarity level up.

Thanks guys,

~Gary~
