Yes 2 point. Bottom set in photo. They won't be cheap but they're rare as hell and GOOD!

Thanks Roy. I will keep looking. At least my forearm is correct then.

Need a couple of front sight screws for early model 99 integral ramp. I have the inserts, but, can't find the right screws.

Number #0 is way too small.

Number #1 is also too small.

Number #2 is too big.

Does anyone have a source or at least know the correct specification?

thanks,

Dave

I thought they were #2-56. What thread #2 do you have?

The #2 that I have is #2-56, or it was supposed to be, maybe the wrong size was in the bin. Pleased to know that I was thinking along the right lines though.

Tink's deal of the week;

Jeff I was gunna grab some but noticed they say model 67. Are they the same as for a 99/1899?

are ours 22 ttinch or 26???????????????????????????????

99's stock bolts are 5/16" - 22 TPI BFS (British Fine Standard). Are they correct length for 99s is the question. I haven't bought any or called Numrich to ask.

Numrich uses some obscure alphnumeric part codes. That bolt comes up in 90 configurations. I suspect they are all the same bolt.

In any case, here is the 99 bolt: 99 stock bolt

I apologize if this post is in the wrong location -
I am looking for a tang peep sight with windage adjustment for lever safety 99
Thanks in advance for your help

There's several.

Full tang sight with windage - Lyman 29 1/2, Lyman 30 1/2 are your best bests. Can be pricey.

Receiver sights - Redfield 70, Lyman 56, Lyman 57.

Welcome to the forum!

PS: If nobody here has spares, they show up on ebay regularly.

A cost effective addition to the receiver sight group is the Williams. Sells for about half the Lymans and Redfields.

These mount with the tang holes but the sight sets over the receiver as opposed to full blown tang sights.

one caution on the williams, make sure it is the proper one or wood has to be removed from the cheek for the elevation adjustment. don't ask how i know.

The wood problem is not limited to the Williams. Have seen that with Redfields as well.

Thanks for the heads up and welcome!
A tang peep sight, preferably a Lyman 29 1/2 or 30 1/2 to keep traditional
My old eyes need the help and too stubborn to add a scope
The new made Marbles seems to be a compromise and I am too poor to pay twice and try to get the best I can afford
Besides, if paying for quality it only hurts once

It looks like I just missed a great 29 1/2 in the classified and am also searching ebay.
This is a family heirloom and will never be resold, traded or parted with

What was the reason for the short vs long tang Lyman tang peep sights?

I have a 30 1/2 with some patina on it, a brown color rather than blue, not sure what you need.

I like the 30 1/2 because it has screw in apertures. The 29 1/2 gives you 2 choices and that's it.

The old Marbles are pretty nice and are generally cheaper than the Lymans, I'm not sure about the new ones though.

The old Marble's don't have windage adjustment though.
