The sight has a short staff in it so it would not work for a 73.

Bob is correct. Staff is too short for either the ’73 or the ’76. Hole spacing is correct for Winchester, but the spring is unmarked, so it is a guess as to what it fits. Very nice sight, however.

It does leave a person wondering what it does fit….

It would probably fit a 92 or 94.

Here’s a later one that’s been listed for several months. Seller has reduced price by about $100 from where he started. His shipping price is not more than many (cheating) US sellers would charge.

Clarence,

I think that sight has an Axtel base with a newer Lyman stem. T/R
