On a Lyman 65a receiver sight, there is a part that looks like an oblong washer that keeps the actual peep and underlying horizontal adjustment screw from lifting out. If you look at the attached image you can see that mine has broken in two for whatever reason. Can anyone tell me the name of this part, and hopefully where I can buy a replacement?

In the image, look to the left of the peep, and you can see the broken piece; half of it is under the large machine screw.

So, I was wrong about how the part fits. It’s a wave spring washer. There are two, one under the big screw in the image, and the second (broken) one goes under the horizontal adjustment screw to keep it in place.
 
If you can’t find one you could make one from spring stock.
 
I found two thin 4mm spring wave washers, and it looks like they will keep things in place. Not as good as the right part, but as long as I minimize horizontal adjustment, it looks like it might work. I’ll confirm one way or the other after my next range session.

You might have edited your post on the PH in the Bubye. I know the PH and is a wonderful person and a fmaily man and runs a succesful business in Zim and just doesn't want the attention that the internet offers, the ugly kind.

Hello,

Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.

Thank you for your time,

Andrew

Saw your post. Nice. Denver too. Genesee area (just off 70) if ever up this way. Alternatively, do you have a membership at GGC? Whatever, you'll have a wonderful time in Africa. Enjoy.
