1894 Sights Question|Winchester Sights|Forum|Winchester Collector

Gus,

The odds are very high that the Lyman sights were installed by a past owner.  If Winchester had installed (special order) a Lyman tang sight, it would have been a No. 1A (or a No. 2A) versus the older No. 1 that is currently on your rifle.  The 1A and 2A tang sights superseded the No. 1 and No. 2 sights approximately 10-years before your rifle was manufactured.  What is the serial number on this rifle?

Ser# 854745

Thanks,

Gus

I do not (yet) have that s/n documented in the survey.  Can you please provide the details (or pictures) of the complete configuration.

Per the PR records, early May 1917.

Thanks,

Bert

Bert,

I submitted the info under the 1894 Research Survey page a few days ago. It’s on page 3 of the thread. I’ll send some photos shortly for your reference.

Thanks,

Gus

Thanks… I must have missed seeing it, but will go find it now.
