Timber Rattler 0 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Now stop laughing!! I have a Lyman #2 tang sight and no instructions (dangerous) I loosened the set screw and pulled out the barrel and eye piece but cannot get the barrel to turn(does it?). I need to lower the sight.

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 1,281 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 You weren't supposed to remove any screws or pull out the eye piece. The barrel just turns and the sight staff goes up and down. Here's an excerpt from the instructions. "To adjust the sight for elevation, turn both knurled sleeves at the same time. Turning the sleeves clockwise will raise the sight, counter-clockwise will lower the sight. Once the correct elevation is found, turn the sleeves in opposite directions so they lock against each other. This will lock the elevation post in place and prevent any movement."

Cap'n Highpockets 0 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I am quoting this from Lyman's instructions,"To adjust the sight for elevation, turn both knurled sleeves at the same time. Turningthe sleeves clockwise will raise the sight, counter-clockwise will lower the sight. Once thecorrect elevation is found, turn thesleeves in opposite directions so they lock against each other." Also they say DO NOT attempt to loosen the set screw that holds the elevation pod together. Not the end of the world, mine was loose as it came from Lymans. Finding something small enough to fit it to tighten it is the only problem. Lymans toll-free no. is 1-800-22-LYMAN. Hope this helps. Link to post Share on other sites

Trailrider #896 1,824 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Thanks, it was froze tight with a little rust (just got it used,my first) but it has loosened up. Thanks for the help! Hit with a drop of Breakfree CLP, then work it back and forth to the full length of travel. Ride easy, but stay alert! Godspeed to all those still in harm's way in the defense of Freedom everywhere!
