Looking For Lyman Sight
 

Hey guys, I've been searching the net for a Lyman 57GPR peep sight. Tried Track of the Wolf, Dixon's, and about a dozen others. Everyone has them on backorder. Seems Lyman got caught short on production because of a high demand created by a change in the law in Pennsylvania. Anyway, if anyone has a gun shop near them that has one in stock please let me know.

Might be others but that will get you started.

Thanks guys. Will give those a shot.

I have a 57SML in my parts box.

RE: Looking For Lyman Sight
 

As do I. After I bought the KRB and scoped it, I took the 57sml and the 17 front sight off the Trade Rifle and went back to open sights on it.

RE: Looking For Lyman Sight
 

The 57SML is the same as the 57GPR with one exception, the GPR version has a wedge adapter to get the correct angle above the tang. Lyman does sell the wedge separately, at least they did when I asked them last year.

Tell me about these things, guys. Am I wasting my time? Are they useful sights? I've heard good and bad - great sights for accuracy/target shooting, butworthless for hunting (uselessat dawn and dusk). Is that true.

RE: Looking For Lyman Sight
 

I rarely use an aperture in any peep sight. I use them as a "ghost ring" and find they are just as accurate in most situations and a lot easier to see through.
I prefer the T/C sight that is not as bulky. The 57SML is a good sight, I just prefer something smaller.

RE: Looking For Lyman Sight
 

I am not sure what the model number is on my Lyman sight on my Lyman MZ. I do use the twilight peep. You will definitely shoot more accurately with your peep sight. It is good enough for the miltary??? So I am sure it is good enough for a hunter. Buffalo Arms may have one in stock. I think I ordered mine directly from Lyman. Tom.

I tried the lyman peep on a few different m/l and rifles and for some reason I am not crazy about them
why I don't know.
I have the t/c hunter peep on one of my flinters with a fiber front sight :yep I know it not traditional but it works.I was thinking in trying the twilight peep from Williams but never did get around in buying one.I did open the hole on the peep to .085 and I find for those late shots I have no problems but I don't sit in the woods until dark set in at 61 years old I stay about 15 min: after sun down them all night tracking jobs with a flash light are far gone.The older days would squeeze out the last min: of day light and it get to be when you start see thing move in the woods it was time to start walking out.

Try Cains Outdoors. They seem to have stuff that no one else has.

Semisane, Did you ever get the peep sight? I have one on my TC Hawken and killed a lot of deer with it using 90 grGoex and Real cast bullets! It came with 2 apertures. One for target and one for hunting.

RE: Looking For Lyman Sight
 

Yeah, I got one last year Rock Fish. Not the best looking thing sitting on my GP flintlock, but I love it.

Semi; check with "idahoron", he shoots renegade w/lyman peeps w/amazing accuracy. out to 200yds, if I'm not mistaken!!
