Hello,
Have a 1894 .357 cowboy I bought for my son. Bought the Marbles #9804 for it and can't figure out how they expect you to mount it. It comes with 2 screws and the tang needs drilled and tapped for them which is fine. Problem is with the action open the sight has to be mounted to the very end of the tang to allow the bolt to open fully and not hit the sight. This will work if I use the screw that holds the stock on for the rear mounting screw but of course it will have to be longer. I can't figure out what size it is? I've measured it and kind of think it is 12-32. Since I am going to have to order something like that it would be nice to see if anyone else knows for sure.
thanks,
Bart
