Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors Winchester 70 - any pre64 experts?

Ebay can be a funny thing. Not knowing how a Lyman 16B folding sight goes together I looked at a blurred photo (see last image below) thinking the misaligned ears must be loose screws and an adjustment. But the guy was actually selling a bent sight someone had banged so hard it would not even fold open anymore. He even sent both sights loose in a plain paper envelope that was all torn up in the mail when it arrived. Banged out the pin, pulled the 16B apart and did some body work, straightened it a bit - not perfect but I�ll use it to protect the dovetail cut in the barrel for a while until another comes along. The Lyman 6 that came with the �deal� looks good - now I just need a .375 H&H to go with it.

Hoping for better luck with the 103C that�s on it�s way from a different seller.
