 Maybe a good time to point out the difference in various Lyman number one tang sights that fit the 86. The 86 uses a base that is hinged close to the center to allow the bolt to move back, unlike the 73, 76, 92, and 94 that’s hinged closer to the front. Most of the Lyman staffs for the above mentioned models can be swapped. When buying a N you will sometimes find a staff for the shorter NI. The knurling on a N is approximately .850″ and a NI .735″. The Lyman N is for slower black powder that needs the taller staff, if your spending $350 for a N make sure the sight your buying is original. Nice original sights hold their value and are easy to sell. T/R

TR, no stake in this matter but duly noting your amazing ‘tech’ expertise! Part of what makes this Forum great! Particularly as multiplied by the many experts here! Such and facilitating “the go-to source” for Winchester information!

Recently, going through some of my yet boxed books, noting “The Sight Book” , by George Madis, dated 2005. Summary mention of the referenced sight. Nothing approaching the info you provide! Still, it’s a worthy Winchester reference ‘pub’ for what it is!

Best to all here! Keep ‘chuggin’ & Stay Safe!
