I bought this a few weeks ago with the Lyman 21 Sight missing but with the holes. I am not certain if it was ordered with the sight or not. I recently purchased this sight from a member here. I do have a letter on the way for the gun. How does the rest of the gun look to you? Are the Swivel eyes correct for a 1902 rifle? The gun has seen it share of use for sure but the screws all remain nearly perfect. The original finish is present but well worn. The wood was quite nice in it’s day. I’m in for 800 so how did I do?
THIS ALL STARTED WITH JUST ONE GUN!
It is going to letter as an “Extra Lightweight” Take Down Rifle, most likely with the screw eyes, as they look correct. I suspect that the Lyman No. 21 was added after the fact. Still, it is worth at least 2X what you paid for it.

Good, honest rifle and a Deluxe takedown to boot! Hope it letters with the sight, that would be a nice bonus. Price sounds great but I’m not really in touch with today’s prices, they often seem quite low to me but I think you did quite well. Probably doesn’t matter much, I don’t think you’ll be selling it anytime soon. Nice rifle!

Great looking rifle. You got a good deal for sure, as someone mentioned, there is more than $800 in just the wood. Congrats.
