My 1873 has an unusual sight.
Sadly, the screw head has broken off, but the threads are free and the slide fits tightly in it's slot

I'm not familiar enough with Maynards to form an opinion, but it does integrate very well with the factory tang sight. Nice piece of machining, but an obvious weak point.

I have seen that type of sight,really odd and rare. There was a gunsmith here in Hillsdale,gone now,miss his good stories and friendship. He had a great collection of GOOD STUFF, He had a JUNK row!! I would have been proud to have that JUNK! His people took good care of him,they carry a great tradition.Back to the sight I seem to remember it on a Cooke Rifle (English) 40 cal ? a target rifle, Walnut stock, had been used,not abused. I will try to find out more, I am sure it was sold. Dick Stack 57thahc

I thought I had one of the rack and pinion sights "Froggy" wanted, but it turns out that it is one with opposing screws for windage adjustment and a single screw which clamps it to the scored but not calibrated uprights for vertical.  I also have the spring and post.  The rifle  these were from was damaged in a fire any years ago, but, while dirty, the sights look ok.

The first "I want it" gets the sight in exchange for you making a donation to your local food bank at whatever value you place on the sight once you've received it.

I'll mail it to Deadeye tomorrow!
