No mention in Stroebels book on the 32-B elevator. Winchester book either. The only place I see this elevator mentioned is in Renneburgs book. Are the later elevators 1-A’s or 32-B’s? The 3-C seems dominant in later guns. Big Larry

Big Larry,

I looked through the sight book and didn’t see a 32b elevator, just a 32b rear sight for the 90 and 06 rifles.

Larry, did you check p. 129-133 of the Winchester Book ref? The elevators are classified separately as sporting elevators, four notch elevators, and the 3C elevator, and are not categorized by sight numbers, i.e. 31, 32, etc.
