Jittery Jim Jonah, SASS #64913L Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I bought a Marble Armms improved peep tang sight for my Marlin rifle. Very easy to install, then I tried to adjust the windage. The dial turned really hard and only went about 4-5 clicks then stopped. I loosened the adjust/ set screww and it turned O.K. but the post did not move at all. I made the mistake of loosening the dial a bit more and it popped part way off, I think I lost at least one of the small ball bearings, I have three... Question is, why won't the post move left or right? Is it supposed to be so tight? My next stop will betrying to contact MArble Arms. For all the hoopla about the sight, I am dissapointed.... What did I do? JJJ-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance-A-Lot Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Hi, I am not sure what you did I have a couple of them and they have always worked fine I am not going to change my seting but it seams they went more than 4 or 5 cliks each way from center. Perhaps the thread was damaged on yours, I think if you can get it back together and working it wont matter if you have lost just one ballbaring.

Adirondack Jack, SASS #53440 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Hmm, they tell ya NOT to mess with it and let the little balls out.... I'd contact Marbles and send it back. It wasn't working right BEFORE ya tried self help, and if one ball is missing, ain't gonna work right now. I sent one back to em years ago, they fixed or replaced it no problem.

Chili Ron Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Pard, Try giving Brownells a call on your problem. Ask for their tech advise guy and you will probably get at least a little hep. Even if stuff costs a few extra cents, I always try to buy from Brownells due to their terrific customer support. Good luck. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
