I like to make things, I've always thought sights were cool. I've wanted a Lyman 35 sight, but the prices that they go for are often more than I've paid for a lot of the rifles I own. But a couple of years ago, I found a couple of parts groupings on ebay. They must have come from someone that worked at Lyman, some of the parts weren't finished. But in one of the parts grouping was a base for a Lyman 35 sight. These bases fit over the bolt stop and require no drilling of the receiver, though they do require some removal of wood just below the bolt stop. Anyway, using the parts that I had and making my own parts. Here is what I have
I designed a different slide that allows the sight to be mounted on scoped rifle without having to remove the slide, by elevating the slide the bolt stop can still be manipulated.
I, also, made some bases and slides, these are quite a bit simpler than the Lyman 35 base and resemble the Lyman 36 sights.
