My Marlin was getting jealous of those Henry boys having the neat ghost ring sights...so into the shop I go!
No hacksaw job for this beast as a complete new sight would have to be made but I designed it to simply pop right into the existing
dovetail holder. After an afternoon of machine work it is installed and ready for a range trip!
First picture is the factory notch sight which I have trouble with when sighting in.
Guess who just had a birthday? We did. Henry Rifle Forums has made it to the 10 year mark. Thank you to all members, I'm glad you are here!

Jealous of your equipment. I would love to be able to make what I imagine. I’ve done a little and been luck it worked. God job.
Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Thanks! I just hope my figures were close and it shoots a bit low.
