I think I may have an Lyman Sight kicking around if your interested.Have 50 cal TC Hawken with front sight that measures .3680 inches top of barrel to top of sight and dovetail anchor. I want to practice with Lyman 17a type front sight. Not sure which one to buy, or where. Any suggestions.
You want a Lyman with the 3/8” dovetail, not the metric one. They measure their height from the bottom of the dovetail to the center of the sight. I use the two lower or shorter ones (AHB that measures .404” and the AML that measures .494”) on a few barrels with the Lyman 57 peep sight. Check the overall height of your sight and go from there. I believe the TC sight dovetail base is 3/32” thick, but you need to confirm that.Have 50 cal TC Hawken with front sight that measures .3680 inches top of barrel to top of sight and dovetail anchor.

I may be but I need to determine first what I need to fit my rifle. I am looking for the sight that I believe is modeled 17a by lyman. It should take inserts and be dovetail.I think I may have an Lyman Sight kicking around if your interested.
Maybe check out what TOW sells.I may be but I need to determine first what I need to fit my rifle. I am looking for the sight that I believe is modeled 17a by lyman. It should take inserts and be dovetail.
I currently have a Lyman adjustable peep.What rear sight are you planning to use? I have the Lyman on the front of a few rifles but always use a peep rear with them.
Lee Shaver offers an insert card with a variety of options for the Lyman globe sights including crosshair, post, bead and so on. I would use the AHB in conjunction with your 57.I just shot someone's H&R Buffalo rifle Saturday with that sight. As long as a while target paper background with a black circle bullseye was aimed at it was great. As soon as we tried shooting at an object off the paper we couldn't acquire a target picture. I'm guessing there is a fine cross hair type of insert offered but haven't looked into it yet.
