The proper Lyman 48 for that year would have the notched out stock. Don't remove the rear sight. Leave the Lyman off and enjoy that unmolested beauty!! $3,000.00 for sure on that one! Most preWar carbines are in a much more used condition than that one. There are better ones out there but they are few and far between with most being in bigtime collector's hands that won't be on the market cheap if they over get out there.
