The Original Lumpy Gritz 5,930 Posted December 13, 2017 I should have indicated, that I was 'talking' about the 'Bear Buster' front sights. Also-I would use a slotted screw instead of the more modern Allen type. OLG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Warden Callaway 2,938 Posted December 13, 2017 Yea, I figured that was the case. Although the Skinner rear sight is a modern version of the Hepburn that I think was available on Marlin rifles before 1900. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Warden Callaway 2,938 Posted December 13, 2017 Oops! On checking Lt. Col. William S. Brophy's big book of Marlins page 638, the Hepburn sight was introduced in 1903. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sedalia Dave 6,915 Posted December 14, 2017 Probably a question for the ROC From SHB pg 35 Quote Rifle Sights Tang mounted rear sights may utilize changeable “peep” apertures and eyecups. No bolt or receiver mounted sight is permitted. Dovetails may be milled in the barrel for sight replacement. Beach style front sights and sight hoods are allowed. Front sights may include a bead or insert of steel, iron, ivory, faux ivory, brass, gold, pewter, copper, or silver. The bead or insert shall be the color of the material. Rear sights may utilize an insert of the same color as the rear sight to allow easy sight adjustment.Ramp style front sights are allowed if original to the firearm. Modern style click adjustable barrel or receiver sights are not allowed. I know that some Marlins came from the factory with ramp style front sights However, the stickler is 'does the Bear Buster ramp style front sight meet the criteria of the second to last sentence. For a Marlin I think the answer is yes. But I have been wrong many times before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
