rosewood,
Alliant Reloader 7 made for a very good deer hunt load with the 255 or the 265 grain gas check bullet
in my M1893 38-55 as well as my 336 CB. It is accurate, no xs pressure signs and clocked about 1750
Check the handbooks. Lyman No. 4 CBH
beltfed/arnie

My PCd boolits are dropping at 250 and rl7 has been the ticket. Hitting right at 1700, no leading or pressure signs.

Nice looking rifle Rosey! I like the short magazines. Tough finding 38-55 Win brass. I found a couple hundred once fired 375 Winchester cases. They work good! I use a Lyman .375 mould. I throws a .378 dia boolit. Have fun!

Will the lyman tang sight for the 336, 1894, 1895 fit the 93? It is factory drilled and tapped on the tang that are 1 1/8" center to center with 8-40 threads.

Thanks,

Rosewood

They told me they don't make one that fits my gun with the screw spacing. Said I might be able to drill and tap another hole to match. I did find Marbles makes one for it, or at least appears to fit, will have to verify with them their hole spacing.

Personally I find the tang mounted sights a bit uncomfortable with the grip. Lately I've been
shooting with the Marbles Bullseye sight, a double ring barrel dovetail mount.

I use Tang sights on our old Marlins and just accept the gains over the loss of a little comfort.

Did u have to replace the front sight to match? Also what is purpose between the 1.875" and 2.75" length?

What specific brand/model sight do you use? Does the front have to be replaced to match?

Rosewood,
I'd recommend the longer Bullseye sight, it's just a question of where the dovetail is on the barrel. I found the shorter one was
substantially more difficult to adjust. Assuming here that your old Marlin is the same dovetail placement as mine, the longer
one works great for me. And at $20 from Midway, it's an affordable option. Works well for me.

Thanks!
