I recently inherited a Marlin 45/70 from my father. It is a first year production Marlin 1895 rounds bolt model. It has a prototype side mount receiver sight on it with click adjustments for range with a cam inside that is adjusted to a specific load. Pretty nifty. I believe it was the only sight produced, as the fellow who made it died after sending this one to dad for testing.
Anyway. Somewhere along the way dad took the aperture out of it, I’m guessing to be able to see better as he got older.
Now the problem it, I don’t have a aperture that will fit it. I have some Williams and Skinner apertures, and they are too small for the sight.
So, before I spend money on ordering parts that may or may not work, does anyone know if Lyman or Redding apertures have a larger size threaded shake then the Williams ones?
