Hey all I just purchased a 1894 Winchester 30 WCF not sure but think it was made around 1950 it has a Lyman sight on it and I was wondering if it was original or is something that was added on? And maybe get a value on it I payed around $600 for it and I love it more in person than the pictures online it has a really nice patina and the wood seems really nice other than a crack in the stock but I think I am going to get my gunsmith to fix that. Haven’t shot it yet but it seems like a very solid gun. Serial number is 1644749

While it might be a factory installed Lyman No. 56, the odds are higher that it was aftermarket installed. The condition of the bluing underneath the base, and the precision of the drilled & tapped holes in the receiver frame to mount it need to be seen and inspected to determine if it was factory installed or aftermarket work.
