Could someone tell me if the Lyman #2 tang sight is adjustable for windage? I will be getting a Winch 1886 and would like a tang sight for it. I see that the Marble Arms standard tang sight has a windage adjustment. However, they do not list the Chiappa Winch 1886 as one they make a sight for.
Thanks
I have just mounted a Marbles tang sight on my Browning BLR/SRC. I was not originally drilled & tapped for a tang sight, but a friendly gun owning machinist helped me out. The tang bolt on the Brownings are metric threads, so a new bolt had to be made from a large cap screw, as well as a new screw for the front of the base. I'm not sure whether the Winchesters are drilled 7 tapped for a tang sight, but that is not an insurmountable issue.
