Minor issue since the receiver did have a saddle ring, the fact the serial number didn't match didn't bother me a bit. With a saddle ring, and a carbine buttstock and buttplate I was fine with it. Had it had a crescent butt, and a saddle ring on the receiver I'd be bothered.


You're right. I shouldn't have let that buttstock bug me. The numbers weren't even that far off from the number on the receiver. By the way, your deluxe .25-20 - those are some fantastic sights!


I've only come across two of the Lyman windage combination globe sights in all my years of collecting. This one, and one other on a Winchester High Wall in .22 Short with a #4 weight barrel. Sold the High Wall, but if I ever sold this deluxe 1894 I'd put a Marlin sight up front and keep the Lyman windage combination sight.
