Winchester 94 (pre-64) identify peep sight?

Skadoosh · September 2, 2012, 10:50 AM

I recently purchased a 1952 Winchester Model 94. I am very new to lever guns and this is my first, so I am pretty unfamiliar with accessories especially for older lever actions.

On my rifle is the base for a peepsight that I am trying to identify so I can replace the missing part. My buddy thinks its a Lyman, another thinks its a Williams...but I am almost certain it is an old Redfield basemount...

Can anyone help identify this base mount?

To me it looks like a base for a Lyman 66 Peep sight.

Naw, I guess the little arrows in the window make it look more like a Redfield base. It looks more Redfield than Lyman, and similar to my Redfield 75 which is on a rimfire setup.
