Anyone replaced their rear sight with a leaf sight for their Marlin ?
Does anyone make a leaf sight with dovetail ?

Thanks ,

Olter

I used a Lyman leaf sight on my 1895 for many years. There are a few other 3/8" dovetail sights out there that would work as well.

Thanks Jackfish for quick answer .

I guess its called a folding sliding leaf rear sight , akin to Springfield or Mauser military sights.

Thanks
