Gave our CF's time to cool and it was a whole lot of fun, can watch your impacts and...

Camp daddy,
I'm not sure what finish Marlin uses but it is going it is going to take some elbow grease to get to bare wood. You could try a commercial stripper, a cabinet scraper will help.
Another thought, try to find an UNFINISHED set from Boyd's. This way the original wood can stay untouched.

Slower loads will shoot higher, more time in the barrel under recoil.
Faster loads will be lower.
Most replacement sights can be purchased in .010" height differences. Brownells should have a selection.
