Troy0331 Posted September 14 Report Share Posted September 14 Hey guys! im in need of a Lyman rear sight spring I can’t seem to find them anywhere I already have a new plunger. If someone has one or knows what spring I could substitute for one please let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD. Posted September 14 Report Share Posted September 14 I do not have a source for an original spring but springs are springs. Perhaps this will help you find something identical or very similar that will work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dpedersen Posted September 14 Report Share Posted September 14 (edited) I’m not sure if it is correct or even the production. I have these 2 sights in my spare parts bag. My dad changed out the sight on the Westie to a Lyman marked usgi sight some time ago. So if it is the correct spring, it’s either usgi or west Hurley production. I want to think it’s usgi due to the quality. Here’s some pics. The spring is about as long as the plunger. It fits in the spring cavity on both sights but is a booger to compress with the plunger.

gijive Posted September 14 Report Share Posted September 14 Neither of the two sight bases have the Lyman Trademark, Middleton, CT marked in them, so I know that the bases are not correct. The portion that raises up on one of them also is not a GI Lyman sight. So, the spring and plunger are also suspect, but will probably work.
