Rear sight is a Lyman 48. Front sight is a Lyman 17 Globe Target. The buttplate and pistol grip cap are actually horn. (I was thinking plastic yesterday, but there is a little bit of insect nibbling on the bottom edge of the butt plate.)

I'm looking at the casting. It sure looks to me exactly like the picture of a .257 Roberts in Richard Lee's Modern Handloading. I'm going to see if I can pick up a box of .257 Roberts tomorrow and see if one chambers for me.

I can't find my calipers, but I have one coming from Amazon.
