I happened to pick up a vintage Lyman S tang sight but wanted to confirm the right tang screw specs for an original model 1885 Winchester 32-20. I have dealt with several other Winchester lever models with no issues, but am seeing differing thread pitch and length references for the 1885. Thanks in advance.

Craig,
The thread pitch for the Single Shot rifle tang screw is identical to all other Winchester (lever-action) rifles. The length of the tang screw for the high-wall rifles is nominally 1-13/16″ (1.8125).
