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.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike
