I put this here so everyone would pick up on it. Recently Mr K (Contender) called my attention to the fact that Marlin was offering the WGRS sight for the Marlin 336. This sight, as most of you know, sits on the receiver and many of us have used them for years. Today I called Williams and discussed the Marlin 1894P. Here's what the said....the present sight set is shipped with one of their new steel Fire Sight front sights. Since there are two variations of front sights out there on Marlin 336's, ramp and barrel mounted, they ship they ship with a riser block. This is added to the front sight on plain barrel guns. They said on the other model Marlins that you might have to play around with various front sight heights. Most of you know this, but....remember when ordering a front sight to measure the total height from the bottom of the dovetail. Brownell has, in their catalog, a great chart that tells what height needed to raise or lower the front sight to get your shots on zero. Remember also..with these higher front sights, you may not be able to use your front sight hood. If you still use thr hood with the Fire Sight, it helps if you grind out a opening on top of the hood with a Dremal. This lets light in and still protects the front sight.
