In less than 24 hours!
They do not have the sight I need but they supplied 2 phone numbers for individuals that apparently have selections of sights. I'll call them tomorrow and see where I get.
I'll ask them about sharing their contact info here.

My guess is Ken Bean of York, Pa. is one of them. Ken is a great guy to which I've done lots of business with over the years.---6

Mr . Bean has a sign at gun shows that says Sightman. Good guy I have bought 5 or six sights from him.

Well I struck out with Mr Bean! He was all apologies for not having this sight. Says they are very scarce.

As for the other phone number I left a voice mail...

My luck is not that good! I could spend years looking for this sight, give up and sell the gun and that person would find a 55RWS the next day! And it would be NIB !!!

Gunny, don’t forget the new owner would have somebody give him the NIB sight for nothing. That is if your luck is like mine most of the time.

Well you can just give me the rifle and I will cherish it and continue to look for that sight :mrgreen: If I ever find one I well return it back to you with the new sight ! Did not think I would get very far with that opening reply so I started with wishing you good luck :lol: Probably won't do me any good this time either, but just had to offer my assistance :D

Bronco at this point I'm waiting to speak with the other contact given to me by Lyman. If that fails I'm just going to look for the side mount. If that fails then I'm going to D&T for a weaver base.
This gun is in pretty good shape but with the missing sight, the fact that it has holes for a side mount it won't ever be a high value gun.
I haven't heard from the guy I bought the bolt from yet either...

I just spoke with a very nice gentleman ( the other contact from Lyman) in Ohio, he has retired but Lyman doesn't believe him so they keep giving out his number.
First thing he said was ' boy that's going to be a tough one to find' I'm afraid he is right!

Looking like a weaver base is soon to be installed...

Hmm, I still haven't heard from the guy I bought the bolt from.

If it's who I think it is, he's a very nice old guy. Miss seeing him at the shows, always had good stuff!

Awesome find, by the way!

Yep, that's the guy. Little dude with a handle bar mustache. Had great stuff and amazing knowledge of sights, grips and all kinds of small parts. He'd usually have a case with a couple Browning pistols or something interesting. Glad to hear he's still kickin'! :D

Gunny, what was that gun again? I'm almost sure to have that side mount. If I can find it.
