Bought this nice Redfield all steel sight. probably paid too much for it but hey they aint makin em like this anymore. it will go on my 1952 ish 94 carbine in 30WCF. I suppose the little set screws on the adjustment knobs are made to be removed so you can zero the the collars? Also the yardage side of the window is left blank, what was the purpose for that?lever gun sights

Re: lever gun sights
Redfield 70's like yours, for the 94,64,etc levers, will bring $200ish, on Ebay. If it had the target knobs it would bring a lot more. If it was stamped "O", for the Marlin 39A it would be $300ish.

Re: lever gun sights
Looks like you found a good one. Can't answer some of the questions, but there are folks on here who will if you wait for them to 'drift by the campfire...'

Re: lever gun sights
Nice sight. I have one like that. I paid $340 for it. 
It was attached to a Marlin 336 chambered for 35 Remington that was made in 1955.
It was attached to a Marlin 336 chambered for 35 Remington that was made in 1955.30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres

Sometimes its cheaper to buy the rifle with them.
Re: lever gun sights
Because that is where you mark it for your specific load. How are they going to know what cartridge and/or load you'll be shooting?Marvin S wrote:Also the yardage side of the window is left blank, what was the purpose for that?
