I think Rube is referring to the pin identified in this diagram. This is a Model 61 but lever actions have similar mag rings/hangers.

Actually, it isn't "my" solution. This is the way Uberti set their front sights in their rifles. I'm trying to find if this was done "in the day" on original Winchesters. Maybe two set screws would look better............easily done! Winchester's No.21 sight had the set screw. h...

I'm interested in replies as well. I just started refinishing the stock on my recently acquired Swedish Mauser. It had been neglected for a long time but was in sound condition. I stripped the finish and sanded to bare wood. A lot of the shallow nicks were removed but the deeper ones persist. This ...

Why remove the block? Swedes rigged for taget shooting by Swedes were fitted with a globe sight that clamped to the barrel in front of the block.

I believe the sight comes with a base that fits a standard dovetail. And the sight is then detachable from its base. I don't think the bases are available separately.

Aha, that could be it. It's just that I have a sight, not a Lyman but the same setup, and no base.
