Folks,
I purchased this from a gent on another site with the hopes that it would work for a 1950’s Marlin. It does not fit with Marlin as I’d hoped, and would be happy to trade for a similar peep sight (Lyman or Redfield) that will fit my Marlin, or sell for $175 shipped.

...Let me clarify. This sight does fit the mounting holes of my Marlin. The sight is just not designed wide to fit a Marlin, and the windage adjustment screws don’t allow the peep elevation to drop enough. I’d need to change out the front sight to get the elevation that I need.

Every lever action I ever mounted a receiver sight on required a change of front sight, I doubt a different sight will change that if that's the problem.
Do you have any pictures of the mounting portion?
If you PM me an email address I’ll send you a the pic...for some reason it will not upload without errors to the original post.

Folks, I’m afraid I’ve come to learned my expectations for fitment were wrong. I know now that whatever peep I put on this old Marlin will need to have a new front sight to make it work as needed. So...I’m going to keep this old Redfield and be happy.
Thanks for everyone’s interest and support.
