336 sights

[txray22]

I own two 336 rifles.  One I bought used in 1975, the other, a 336CS,  I bought used approx 2005 (using the subtract the first two digets from 100, it was made in1998).  The newer one has a safety, the older one much nicer wood and a gold trigger.  Older one has a notched blade rear sight (it's ok and gets the job done).  The newer one had had a scope and it doesn't have a rear sight.  There is a sight mount, no adjustment device,  with a hood on the front sight. 

I always planned to get a peep/ghost ring rear sight, just never got around to it until now.  I have fired the newer gun using the two tips from the sight mount and the hooded front sight.  It hits ok at 50 yards.  Is there a rear sight I can get to mount using the scope mount holes, without changing the front?

If I can get a quick fix rear sight, I might even upgrade the older 336.  Gunsmiths are scarce around here, so I need a simple fix.  I may just contact Marlin and get an original rear sight.  I picked this gun up cheap and now I have the time to do the upgrades.

Skinner sights, one of our sponsers can fix you up. I put one of theirs(PEEP) on my marlin 44 mag and its working for me.

I called Skinner, and was told I would likely have to change out the front sight also.  I'm going to give Marlin a call and see about getting a replacement factory rear sight.

thanks

OK if that doesnt work for you try XS sights dont know if they have a rear to go with your front but they have em both and I use them for one rifle and two glocks. Hope this helps.
