1902 catalog prices for sights & some etc's - 08/29/16
I recently got a 1902 Lyman. I found that almost any manufacturers rifle could be ordered directly from Lyman with their sights attached and sighted in with a guarantee of accuracy. They even say if the gun is found to not shoot well they would return it for another - that's sounds like the best way to get a gun if you want accuracy. I also acquired a 1902 Savage catalog this year so you can compare the prices of ordering from Savage with Lyman sights to ordering through Lyman. (How many have rifles that letter as shipping to Lyman?)
Savage prices -
Lyman prices (sight no's do not correspond, compare by descriptions)-
more Savage -
... so who's got a 'cylindrical mould' for paper patched bullets?
... so what if you ordered a Monarch grade through Lyman and they found it to not be accurate?
- possible Savage reaction - ...Hey Enoch! ...we need another Monarch... and make it FAST!
I noticed something in the 1902 catalog that I was not in other catalogs (or I just didn't notice it) - the pages with the pictures of engraved guns are heavier paper than the rest of the catalog, measuring with a dial caliper the pages are about .003" and .006" thick.
