Front Globe Sight for Springfield

[Entry Level]

First, if this is the wrong forum please let me know. I installed a correct Lyman in the front dovetail of my rifle. Even with a small aperture on the rear sight I am unable to depress the rear sight to shoot with correct sight picture at 100 yards. I saw a taller front sight that will fit the dovetail on the front sight. I have a short base front sight I would like to trade if anyone would like to make this trade. The bench rest precision military match I shoot is 100 yards or I wouldn't worry. I can shoot a reduced load but this is more ammo sorting, thanks for looking.

You need the old Lyman 17A XNA made specifically for the 1903 Springfield, not any of the current Lyman front sights that Lyman makes.

You can do a Google search (or image search) for Lyman 17A XNA, and you will see what you need.

If this is legit (and I don't know if it is) this is a smokin' deal on a 17 XNA:

They used to go for a hundred bucks!

HTH,
I appreciate the heads up . I saw that ad but it was closed. A couple years ago I bought 2 of the same height since the deal was good. I was hoping there might be a trade lurking in the ether but if not I will return the sights to original. I was shooting a conventional mid range match and the globe works fine, I just can't depress enough to shoot at 100 yards. Anyway thanks for the suggestion. Cheers, Entry Level
