Marshal Jack Murphy SASS #32018

Thanks everyone for the information. So now that I know what "period hooded wind gauge design" is I need to decide what the proper height is for my rifle. How does a pard go about determining what the correct height of the sight should be? The sight can be bought with hight ranging from .464 - .852 so how do you know which one you wnat. I plan on putting this on my Marlin 1895 with an 18" barrel with a Marble's tang sight. I don't plan to shoot much past 300 yards.

Howdy all, I have read the handbook but not sure what "period hooded wind gauge design" is exactly. I was looking at this lyman sight https://www.midwayusa.com/product/752564/lyman-globe-front-target-sight-17ahb-404-height-3-8-dovetail-steel-blue at Midway. Does this sight qualify? Thanks for the help.

Ho In 2012 my house was involved in a forest fire and consequently my guns where damaged even though they were in a fireproof safe. When I opened the safe all the wood was nothing but ash. I cleaned, refinished and put new springs in my Springfield 1911 and Beretta 92F. They shoot just fine in fact the 1911 shoots better than the brand new Remington 1911. Now I am looking at rebuilding 2 marlins. I have a 1895CB in 45-70 and a 336 in 30-30. They have been kept inside since the fire and do have small rust spots which seem to cleaned up easily with a little work. I am thinking of having the 336 barrel re-bored to 38-55 or re-finishing the 1895 leaving it in 45-70. My questions are: Are these rifles able to be rebuilt? Should I keep them in the same calibers? Kinda off subject, can you shoot 45-60 ammo in a gun chambered for 45-70? Thanks,
