got a steel sight 8 years ago it was new-old stock, i.e. made years earlier. I've never had any problems with the Williams aluminum sights (and they've always been thus made) but the Lyman aluminum has stripped threads twice now, both in the slide plate screw hole. I epoxied them in place, screw and all. The current Lyman # would be 66LA but previous to this there were a couple of different numbers I can't remember off-hand this morning. Redfield also made an excellent steel sight. Sad to say but a good place to find them, but maybe not PAY for them due to the high prices they get, is ebay.
