Tang Sights
I have a 92 24" Octagon in 45 LC. It is tapped for a tang sight. Has anyone used a Lyman on these rifles or does it only align with the Marbles?

Re: Tang Sights
Sarg, I don't believe the Lyman is available with the correct hole spacing to mount it on our '92s. I'm using the Marbles on my 20" octagon and really like it. I bought the new style as it was what was available at the time. Not sure what post height you would need on the 24".

Re: Tang Sights
Now, if all else is the same -- rifle not drilled for scope -- what is the difference between the Lyman and the Marbles?

Re: Tang Sights
Marbles is windage adjustable, Lyman is not (gotta drift the front sight). Don't know the difference in mounting screw spacing. I had to drill and tap my tang for the Marbles.

I had to drill & tap to mount a Lyman tang sight on my .357 Rossi. It works fine. You can shim the base to adjust windage.
