I was wondering if a Lyman 48 WJS sight was a factory installed option for the Model 70 Winchester or if Lyman sights were strictly after market sights. My "prewar configured" Model 70 is all original and produced in 1946 with the holes drilled and tapped for the side mounted sights. It was not drilled on top of the receiver which is correct. I would like to keep it period correct.
If the Lyman sights were a factory installed option, I may have to do some inletting on the stock unless I go with the 3rd model Lyman 48 WJS which does not require inletting but may have first come out in 1947. Would this be pushing it as far as period correctness is concerned if I was to install these sights?
Thanks
