	Was on a Stevens. No marking. Want to use it on a Lever gun but need a different aperture. Any clue so I might find some apertures or an adjustable? The eye cup next to it is off a Shaver I believe. It starts but thread binds.

	I agree with KensBullard ... its a Winchester staff on a Stevens base.

	What kind of lever gun ? Reason I ask is because a Stevens base fits no lever gun that I am aware of.

	The staff and base look like they have been together a long time. Came off a Steven’s 47. May want to graft it onto a Rossi 92. Angle and height are correct. The eye cup from the Shaver will not screw into it. Try’s but thread binds pretty quick. Was wondering if anyone knew off hand the thread pitch so I could either get a few more appropriate eye cups or an adjustable one.

	Howdy, I'm as new as green grass here. I bought a 1906 Remington Self Loader with a Marbles folding rear tang sight without an aperture. I tracked down a guy in the north west who machined one an shipped it. This was about 10 years ago. I can't recall his name but I'm hoping someone here can Id him for you. He made apertures for old tang and receiver sights.

	I was looking for something else and came across a picture I took of my original 1885 sight, that was on my DST HW when I got it.
