Deceased May 2nd, 2020
My old Lyman catalog (circa 1965) shows the 58E used with the Lyman 77R front sight mounted on the "D" base. The "D" screw on base is specified as having a height of 0.415". The height of the 77R sight is specified as 0.451" There is a 77H that has a height of 0.773" amd will probaly be too high for your rifle.
Hope that helps

My Mod 75 target came with the 84A rear and 99A front. It is a 2nd year production
This is from the CMP forum:
Winchester provided quite a few options for the 75 when it came to sights. A couple of sources indicate that the standard sights for a 1940 vintage 75 would be a Winchester #84A rear and a #99A front. Options would be;
Rear- Lyman #57E, #58, #57E(in combo with the #93 blade front) and the Vaver#3875. Later models would also include the Redfield 75HW.
Front- Lyman #77, Vaver #1175, Winchester #93,#77, #99 & #105A, & Redfield #63.
Most of these sights can be found if you look hard. Prices will be high but original sights only add to the value of the rifle.
Both Williams and Lyman offer target receiver sights & front sights. It's a toss up between them. I have used both. The Lyman 90 MJT has heavier construction and more certain clicks to the adjustments while the Williams Target has a finer degree of adjustment but the clicks are a bit touchy and uncertain. Both are alloy and both do the job very well. I like the old sights better but these are worth what you pay for them. Anything better would be 3 -5 times the price.
