Marlin 1894 Rear Sight
I have a Marlin 1894 44Mag which has the rear sight missing.
Does anyone know someone local that may have one in stock?

Re: Marlin 1894 Rear Sight
Unless you just want it for looks, the better course would be to find a peep sight like the Lyman #48...err...guess the old 48 is no longer made so the #66 looks like the modern version. I always preferred to remove the disc and use the large aperature as a kind of 'ghost ring' sight. Brownell's will also have both the peep and probably either a factory replacement or similar.
Your 1894 will already be drilled and tapped for the receiver sight.

Re: Marlin 1894 Rear Sight
Thanks ikor.
Either that or I go with a scope of sorts, I have a Millet DMS 1-4 but was planning on putting that on my CAR.
Do you know of a local guy that does Marlin?

Re: Marlin 1894 Rear Sight
I have no idea about a dealer but with as many various Marlins as the guys here say they have I can't imagine there would not be one somewhere in SA.
Everyone thinks different, of course, but for me the allure of a short, handy lever gun shooting a pistol cartridge is that is IS short and light and handles fast. Adding a scope ruins all that for me...although an Aimpoint T-1 might work great.Run Fast, Bite Hard!

Re: Marlin 1894 Rear Sight
I have to agree, I like the original package, the scope would only go on there if I don't find a workable site which you have now offered.
Unless of course I can find an original one, I have the height adjustable ramp, I'm just lacking the leaf spring sight

Re: Marlin 1894 Rear Sight
I know it requires an order, but Brownell's does show the factory sight in stock at a good price...
