Model 12 Lyman aperture sight

Post by 97th SIgnalman »

I am looking the Lyman aperture sight (similar to a tang sight) for my Remington Model 12C. Does anybody know someone who might have one that they would sell.

I watched an auction of a Model 12 with a peep sight on Gunrunner. It sold for $150 with a bulged barrel. I should have bought it for parts, escpecially the sight.

I have some Lymans, but they are $135 including mounting screws and shipping.

There actually two R12s. The early ones had a removable aperture; the later (most of production) had a flip up aperture.
