Hi, I am actually looking for a Lyman 21 to buy for an 1894, if you want to sell it? In the book, Old Gunsights, the code on the back denotes a, D or DA for a 94, and a DB for a 92, hope this helps, Keith

Here’s a Lyman chart from the early 1940s (I think) that has some application codes for Lyman 21 receiver sights. Hope it helps.

There could be a difference between the two in the increments on the elevation scale.

I’m tempted to get this one mounted to my rifle but don’t want to “Bubba” it.
Much as I like the appearance of a 21, what’s its advantage over an easily mounted tang sight, especially for use on a rifle chambered for relatively short range cartridges? The 21 could be sold for enough to buy two Lyman or Marbles tang sights (old ones, not the new-made trash), or, if you can’t live without windage adjustment, one Lyman #103.

I agree with Clarence, go with a Lyman tang. Its a much better sight IMHO. You have a longer sighting radius and the advantage of a vernier elevation adjustment without permanently modifying your gun.
