If you put the special Lyman rear sight back on it's a "Match"

I have a 69a. Mine had the 57 EW mounting base that was missing the 57 EW receiver sight, but I bought a 57 MS receiver sight and that fit the 57 EW mounting base. I also have a 57 ES mounting base and sight and it fits the gun too. The gun also has a 17A Globe front sight. I bought a 17A Insert Set and a hunting and target rear disc direct from the Lyman site.

The Match rifles are exactly the same as the Target rifles except the Match rifles are fitted with the Lyman 57 receiver sight. The Target rifles had the #80 rear sight and the #75 front. Neither had rear sight seats milled into the barrel, and the stocks were the same between the two (but different from the standard 69A).
