Providence/Lyman #21 receiver sight
I saw an ad in the Black Powder Cartridge News for a newly manufactured Lyman, Model 21, receiver sight for the 1895. www.peabodyrifles.com Has anybody used or at least seen one of these in person? What can you tell me about it? For $125 it's about 1/3 the price of other reproductions I've seen, but is it quality or junk?

This site led to sale of said sight by Buffalo Arms. I saw mention of sight here, called the nice guy there who makes them, he is quite pleasant to chat with, called Buffalo Arms to see if the Hungarian sights were anywhere on the horizon...ordered the cheaper one and told the folks at Buffalo Arms about the nice man... suggeted if they did sell his sights I would love a commision as a sort of finders fee...gave them his phone number after getting his permission...the rest seems to be history, guess my check is still in the mail Anyway got the sight on my Browning 1895 now and will test it this weekend.
Windage adjustment on Lyman 21
It's too bad there is no contact on Providence's web sight. I'd like to know how the windage is adjusted, if there is a windage adjustment.

I'm thinking real hard about one of these. The lack of windage adjustability doesn't bother me. In fact, I rather prefer it. One less knob to screw things up. Also going to look into a small knurled knob to replace the lever that can and has got knocked lose and off zero while carrying and caused elevated blood pressure during a hunt. If the finish is a little rough, I'll polish and maybe have it CCHed.
