Tang Sight on new 1892.

[EriCal]

I have one of the new Winchester 1892 Rifles and would like to add a tang sight. The rifle has a safety on the tang so how do I mount a tang sight there?? Do I remove the button and disable the safety??? Or??

Tnx, Eric

Welcome to the fire, Eric !

If you intend to use a vintage tang sight, or an "off brand" like the Taurus tanger, you're on your own; but if you intend to install a new tang sight on your equally new rifle, you might want to consider the more expensive Marble's over the Lyman #2, since Marble's already makes sub-bases for some of their soghts - mostly for Win Mod 86's and Marlins (serial numbers there) - that allow for the top tang safeties/serial stampings.

If you're interested, you could call Marble's customer service, to find out exactly what sight base you should order.

Marbles makes their Tang sights with different bases to match the various lengths, styles & such for different Rifle tangs.
Midway has the list data, as well as Brownells.
They list the original 92, B-92 and new Winchester.

I have both of my 92's at my Gunsmith's for the installation of tang sights. I like the Marbles because of the windage adjustment. Lyman only has elevation.
I will also replace the existing rear sight with a Marbles hinged leaf sight.

What Pete and Lefty said. I'd go Marbles. I have one on my tang safety '86.
