Does anybody know what the front sight looks like or a photo in this data search below. If you have a photo that would be awesome. Lyman semi-jack #32 for a carbine. I’ve checked my Strobel‘s sight book and no luck, but I don’t have the Winchester sight book and it may be in that one.

Thanks Tony. Much Appreciated!! The sight base in the photo is shaped liked the model 1895 whereas this 1894 carbine has the square(rectangular) block. Maybe a vintage Lyman catalog would illustrate it.

Anytime Rick!

I tried turning it and reseeding it, and even changing size of the picture, and sending it.

 

I see you we’re able to solve that problem.

 

I hope it helps.

Holler if you need more, or anything else.

It’s seems this blade sight has the m1895 style front and rear curve as depicted in the photo. This example is the same as Anthony posted(without the base). It was special order as the Cody data sheet shows and hopefully will now find one. Thanks cj57 and Anthony for the replies and help.
