Reproduction Winchester 3 Leaf Express Sight
Reproduction Winchester 3 Leaf Express Sight
Reproduction Winchester 3 Leaf Express Sight, proudly Australian made by Pakenham Firearms. These sights are a copy of the original, with some minor improvements. Milled from steel stock, not sheet metal. Most originals are very hard to find with all the “leafs” in tact as they were very hard to lift and lower resulting in them snapping off. These reproductions are much easier to lift and lower, however care should still be taken.
Leafs are marks 50, 1 & 2 for 50, 100 & 200 yards, just like the original.
Note that all models could also be ordered with this sight from the factory. This product can be used on any Firearm with a 3/8″ 60 deg dovetail.
Refund Policy
Our refund policy is compliant to Australian Law. As per Australian Law the following points apply:
- You are not entitled to a refund for change of mind.
- You do not want to consider purchasing this sight if you are not the slightest bit handy or know someone that is. The original Winchester sights were hand made and hand fitted to each gun by gunsmiths, this is why we recommend the sights are fitted by a gunsmith. Things like barrel contour, octagonal vs round barrels, the condition of the dovetail will all effect how this sight works. Some fitting and minor modification such as slight bending and filing will most likely be required. Do not purchase this sight if you are not willing to do this work or you do not want a gunsmith to fit it for you.
- We do not offer return shipping from International destinations. Please note that the current price (2024) to ship a small parcel from the USA to Australia is approximately US$75. If you are intending on purchasing this sight just so you can meet your own curiosity with the intention of returning it, please don’t purchase.
- You are entitled to return shipping on this product and a refund or replacement if you can verify that it is broken or does not work as intended. The following are not examples of meeting this requirement:
- You do not understand how the sight works. This sight is a copy of a sight that was first designed somewhere around 150 years ago. The original design is probably not the best designed sight ever invented. If you think that you are buying a sight that is going to give you a competitive advantage at the local iron sight rifle competition, please do not purchase this sight. This is not the intention of this product, it’s intention is to be as close as possible copy to the original.
- The sight does not fit into the dovetail. This sight is for 3/8″ dovetails. These dovetails are very common on a lot of firearms. Almost all lever action and pump action firearms of USA origin or copies of such have 3/8″ dovetails. However, the tolerances of these dovetails are very fine. Some manufacturers produce guns with dovetails that are tighter, some produce dovetails that are looser. Fitting a sight is relatively easy, you will need a set of very small files or shim stock depending on if the sight is too loose or too tight.
