The Sightman - York, Pa

@MacEntyre this is the guy i was telling you about who carries all the lyman sights.

I called him about my Savage 29, and he had none. I need to make a list of rifles that need sights and call him back.

That a bummer! I am up here today looking through his stuff. Figure others on here may use him.

See if he knows what a Parker Hale #6 or 9 fits.
I'm not sure which way to hold it to read the # correctly.
Thanks,
Ron

Does it look like this?

If so it goes on a Long Lee Enfield.

No, it looks like it goes on the back of a Martini.
I'll try to get a photo later for you.

Here you go:

6 or 9, I'm not sure which

You’re it looks like it’s for a Martini, but they all seem to be different.

Hey sorry I just saw this. I had already left the show. May be worth giving him a call but not sure that he would be much help over the phone. Any time I talked to him it was in person and he refers to old catalogs...he has boxes full behind his display.

I don't see a website on his card, do you know if he has one?

I think its a safe bet to say he doesnt. I honestly came across limited info about him on a really old rimfire central forum post and just happened to see him when i was back in Pa last year. I wanted to share his info with you guys because i could never find anything about him when i was hunting down a sight several years ago.

I am sure this is the guy that sets up at the Louisville gunshow.

He only does business via telephone.

You call, ask if he has something in particular, he tell you yes, or no. If yes, you can buy.

I did some checking around, and he passed in 2020. RIP

That’s a shamed. I know some people in the area. If I find out that someone picked up his inventory/carried on his business I’ll pass it along to you all.
