Help: Need Russian Contract Winchester 1895 Rear Sight

Post by JRexA »

I am helping a friend, that has an 1915 Winchester 1895 in 7.62x54R with Russian inspection stamps.

But during its long life, the rear sight has gone missing.

Is there anyone here, that happens to know, where to find such a sight, or one, that can be used, instead of the original.

I have looked at the Lyman 21 repro, from Providence Tool Company, but that one requires, that the loading clip guides are removed.
Happy Shooting from Greenland

Fascinating article if you Google "Winchester 1895 Gorelick"

No help for your search, but a very good photo of the rear ladder sight.
