Wow, When did parts kits go for $1,500?????

A parts kit would have been a good investment, even if you had no intention of building up a gun.

 

There were Thompson parts kits available at Knob Creek this spring for $900 (without the Lyman adjustable sight). I believe Numrich had them. This is the kind of thing you really need to pick out in person, though.

I have an M1 and got a 1928 parts kit several years with barrel and Lyman sight for about $600. I bought one of these Lyman sights for future stuff.

Handpicked plus shipping brings it up to $147, to my zip code.

 

When I bought a kit from IMA two years ago, the Lyman sight was not quite up to the rest of the excellent kit. I asked if I could exchange it for another and pay for the hand pick and shipping both ways (even though I'd already paid for the handpicked kit). The woman told me that all of their Lyman sights were in the same condition, and they wouldn't exchange it.

 

Sarco had some as new sights, still in grease, -appeared to have never been on a gun, for $150.00 at Knob Creek last month. They also had some beaters in the same bin, for the same price.

Thanks for the heads up. I just ordered one to swap onto the 27A1 Semi.

Darn- Looks like I missed it. I should check in here more often.

Are the original Lyman sights worth anything. This is an early sight and it is original.

I messed up on my post. I meant the early sight for the M1.

[richard w.]

I see now.

 

If you mean the first style of "L" fixed sight marked "Lyman" they are only a $20 part.

 

If you mean the second fixed style with rhe protective walls on each side of the peep, I'm not certain what the go for. Somebody else?

When I ordered my WH M1A1 back in '86 , I ordered a '28 rear sight to be installed.

This last redo , I had a winged fixed put on. Don't recall the price , but it had to be $50 or less . Any more and I'd have reused the '28 sight.
