By now, most realize I am an old, forgetful, unorganized geezer. About 2004, I replaced the rear sight on my Lyman Great Plains Rifle with an adjustable one. What I'm asking is for someone to post a photo of their original sight (preferably on a rifle). I think it's around here somewhere, but over the years probably mixed in with about a half-dozen others. Manual's missing in action, too, but that will show up eventually. Thanks again for any assistance!

Which "original"? The kits came with a fixed and an adjustable.
The fixed rear looks like this.

The adjustable looks like this.
PM me with your mailing address and I'll send you one.
One caution about the original sight: It has a wandering zero, i.e., it wiggles a tad from side to side. Once zeroed, you can shim it so that it is tight, or degrease it prior to installation, zero it, then trickle some thin Crazy Glue in to hold your setting. (Don't ask....!)

Yes, they do. I took mine off. Didn't want to have to wonder about it when mr elk was in range! It's kinda surprising what that adjustable sight sells for.
This is a good alternative to the Lyman adjustable and at less than half the price.

THANKS TO ALL! Found both - fixed & adjustable. Hadn't opened the GPR box since 2004. Recall I'd replaced it with a Williams sight - adjustable for windage.
Organized guys label parts. I still use the law enforcement organization system ("COP") - "Check Other Pile" for everything. Thanks again.

Track of the wolf has the fixed, semi-buckhorn sights and I just ordered one for a new build.
