I picked this Lyman 48 from the detritus of Ebay, ostensibly for my Krag custom carbine.
Unfortunately, it turns out to be a Krag based mismatched with a Winchester 70 slide. It's a tight fit, but the slide won't fit over the bolt sleeve of the Krag action, rendering it useless for my purpose. I'd also prefer a longer slide, with more vertical adjustment, all things being equal.
Too bad, too, because it's really clean and I like the looks of the early style target knobs.
In my excitement to find a clean 48K, I neglected to check the shape of the slide. I will never make that mistake again! So, back to the seller it goes, sadly.
