Possible Indian scout rifle??

[Tom Trevor]

Carlsr, the M-77 sights were the first to be modified so small differences can be expected. Note how the knobs are identical as is the method of riveting on the off side. The leaf is slightly different in the amount of milling, Mine also has the 1 and the 0 cut down. but each is a custom job You have a very rare sight.

As I understand it, the leaves were narrowed to allow at least some windage adjustment via the screw when the leaf is folded down. I believe that came from Al. I may have copied it off the old BB, but my eyes are getting crossed.

Thank you Tom and Dick, I appreciate all your help and knowledge!
I received a copy of Springfield Shoulder Weapons 1795-1968 yesterday. Pictures are dark but now I have a little history to go with the rifle.

Pictures are dark. They sure are what ever possessed then to use a red background? Perhaps one owned a large red bath towel! Dick is correct the milling was to allow fine windage adjustment before staff was raised beyond ears.
