    WTB Marlin Folding Rear Barrel Sights

    Hello, folks,

    I'm looking for two or three of the folding semi-buckhorn rear barrel sights, with the elevator in the center slit of the leaf spring, that came on most of the Marlin 336s and 1895s in the 80s and 90s. I have a couple of rifles I bought with scopes over the years that I'd like to put rear barrel sights back on. I'd prefer the whole assemblies if anyone has spares, but may consider parts and pieces if I can't come up with whole ones.

    Thanks,
    Regan

    Thanks for the suggestion. I checked them as well as Midway first with no success.

    This is what I'm looking for:

    Hi Woodtroll: I've looked through my junk parts and found three rear sights,
    two have the elevator inserts and one does not. Two have adjustable up down
    v-notch leafs. But no fold downs. PM if you think you can use them.

    Thanks, Webfoot, I really appreciate you taking the time to look for me! At this point, though, I'm looking specifically for the fold-down sights, so the leaf can be folded down for longer shots with a tang sight.

    Thank you again!

    I had just bought sights like this, about a year ago, so I went and looked them up. Marblearms .com 906.428.3710

    Thanks, Blahut! That Marble's #95 is pretty close to what I want, but it has a flat-top blade instead of the semi-buckhorn. They have a semi-buckhorn sporting sight but they don't fold, though. The 95 is my next choice is I can't find the Marlin sights. Thanks for your help!!
