I have accumulated several sights over the years. All but one are intended to be mounted on a 1903 Springfield.
I have posted pictures of two sights. The first is a sight for a flat-sided rifle (not Michael's Hoffman). The other is a safety sight for a 1903 Springfield.
One of the sights appears to have been almost entirely made with hand held tools. It was cut from a block of steel with a file. I refer to this sight as a result of long cold winter.
The other sight replaces the safety lever of a 1903 Springfield rifle. This on was made on the best equipment of the time and by a highly skilled machinist.
If you are wondering why I posted these pictures and this little blurb the answer is that I am trying encourage everyone to post pictures of some of that neat stuff that is hiding under your work bench.

This is the Stahl-Niedner bolt sleeve safety and gas shield. There was also a model with a receiver sight built in as well. I have Mr. Niedner's tool-room model around here some place.

A Lyman 2A that's been bench-fit to a Mauser cocking piece. It'll go on a little small-ring 7x57 I'm building for a friend.

Wish I had some more Lyman sights & parts, have some to trade.
Regards, Joe
