Crusty Knees Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I have a Uberti '73 20". I want to switch out the stock front sight to a Marbles front sight. The store I'm buying from says they have 4 heights, .37, .41, .45 and .50 Is there a recommended front sight height? The rear sight that's on there is a semi-buckhorn.

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 (edited) Measure the original front sight and buy the closest replacement. Sight is measure from top of sight to bottom of dovetail. Edited October 14, 2021 by Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Standard front sight height on Uberti toggle-action lever rifles is 0.410" If you have the factory rear sight still installed, or a similar Marbles rear sight, then 0.410" should be perfect. good luck, GJ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCandless Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I have adjusted all my guns and loads so that point of aim and point of impact are the same. I don't know if that's good or bad... because now when I miss, I have nothing to blame but myself! Dagnabbit! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Payne Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I have 4 18" Cimarron Brush Poppers in .357. I have the Marbles 45-W on all of them. With them zeroed, the rear sight is is either the lowest or next lowest position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
