is that a vernier/tang sight on the rear of the reciever?

Lyman No. 1A combination w/dual aperture and locking lever.

that is probably why the rear sight ramp.

well it turns out the "N" on the .300 Sav is a proof mark and that it's a model EG.
I was told that the model designation would be there,but they don't stamp a model designation on 99's....
live and learn.

as for the 1899B in 32-40...
just gotta build some loads :D
