Does anyone know of a source for clear apertures to fit a Lyman 17a front sight.  I purchased a few from Champion Shooters Supply before they closed and am not having any luck finding a new source. I’m looking for a .150, .145, and .140 aperture sizes.  Thanks, Tom

I believe Lee Shaver lists them.

I saw a bunch on flea bay.

The only clear inserts I have seen are Anschutz.

I have never seen a set of diameter hole clear inserts available for the smaller Lyman 17 A.

A deceased Schuetzen shooter use to machine clear inserts for us and dye them pink or yellow (obtained dyes from eye glass maker).
A machinist friend could make you a custom set. 

He would put a different size beveled hole in an assortment of them to allow for the correct amount of light. 
We would blacken the beveled edge with a black felt pen which allowed us to center the target easier.

Yes the original Lyman sets had a single yellow see through insert that was difficult to see through.

But I have never seen a set of clear inserts for the smaller diameter 17 A with all the different aperture sizes available like the ones they made for Anschutz sights.

Here is what an Anschutz set looks like.

The clear ones I saw probably not lymans then, could have been Anschutz.

Thanks for your comments.  I literally just received an e-mail from, I believe the owner of Freeland Sports who informed me that they now carry clear and tinted apertures that fit the Lyman 17a. Aperture sizes range from.060 to.150. I think it comes down to personal preference, but I like the clear aperture better than the metal with cross hairs.  It’s the old adage, “If you think it works better, it does.”  Thank again, Tom

I like the lollipop apertures with a single post from 6 o'clock position. I prefer them to be the thin lollipops and not the heavy style. Hole size depends on the target, and distance I shoot at.
