Sorry but all the Rem 513T rifles came from the Remington factory with Redfield 75RT receiver sight. It may have a Lyman sight now but not when it was bought by the Military during WW11.Originally Posted by da gimp
Info from Military manual TM-9-280 dated March 16,1944. Plus every other info source states correct sight is Redfield 75RT.

Most of the 513T's I have seen came with the Redfield 75 rear sight; however, Lyman advertised the 60RSH for the 513T. for the 513S they advertised either the 57RS or the 565RWS.

The Lyman 90 MJT, which is currently available, can be used if a Redfield 75 or older Lyman is not available.
