I recently acquired an nice old Winchester 94 that has a Lyman 56 receiver sight mounted. The sight and the area of the receiver around the base are a bit grungy, and I'd like to remove the sight and give everything a thorough cleaning.

Does anyone know how I remove the sight elevation staff from the sight base so that I can get at the screws that hold the base to the receiver?

Thanks!

The guys over at leverguns.com knew the answer. When the elevation staff is run up high enough you can get at the screws holding the base to the receiver.

Actually I haven't looked at one in a long time, but there is a little "button" you push down and the top part of the sight slides off the side part and you will have access to the screws for the side mount.
