Congrats on a good trade! If it had a Lyman 21 there would also be a hole drilled and tapped at the upper rear of the receiver at the end of the markings like the one in the picture. If it doesn't have that hole a Lyman, or Providence, won't fit without drilling and tapping.........something I might not do to a collectible condition original. However your rifle, your choice.
BTW, if you can come within 6" at 600 yds with the barrel sights, you don't have vision issues!

Mine has the screw in place so I should be good to go. I’ll make another effort to post photos as I had given up trying using an iPad. Rifle is on day 4 of WipeOut soaking; 3 patches a day with a barrel soak in between. Still getting bright blue...
