Is it the number 28 or the 31? The '42 catalog I have doesn't show the sights used. The catalog I have that shows sights from the '30's says the 28 is the one. Strobel's book says 31. I would prefer the correct sight for the rifle. The SN is 400938. I'm in the market for the correct sight.

(oops, first 2 were 50's guns)

I see no indication that the later R/RS didn't use the, standard for model, Lyman 31.

I wouldn't turn down a Lyman 37, same as 31 with a 1/32" larger bead.

Rory, thanks for posting the pictures. Both of those look identical top each other.

Thank you Rick I suppose the 37 would do if a 31 or 28 isn't available.

Right now there is nothing in the dovetail. I'm sure the front sight was removed so as to not interfere with the view through the scope, an Alaskan.

It's good to have choices.Thanks guys.

Did you check under the butt plate on the off chance they stuck it in there? Joe.

I did Joe, no joy.
