Looking for a Lyman 17a

[BlackPowderBurner]

I’m trying to find a Lyman 17AHB. That’s the 17a measuring .404”. All the places I’ve checked in Canada and the US are out of stock. Does anyone know where one might be found? I’ll happily call any mom and pop shop in the country to order it. Amazon Canada does show one for twice the market price but I suspect it’s a bs drop shipper. I’d like to mount it on a Marlin 39a to match the lovely Lyman 66MC on the receiver.

When I lived in Calgary I used to shop a lot at Proline Shooters, they are Lyman dealers and stocked the 17a in various height's.

Did you check WGP's?
They have an on line inventory.

Thanks for the suggestion, I hadn't heard of them before. I called and they're out of stock.

Yes, one of the first places I checked and they're out of stock.

I've called Lyman in the US and was told they are doing a run of 17a sights and should have stock sent to distributors near the end of June. I guess it's a waiting game now.
