Does anyone know what tang sight was made for an 1893 Marlin? I have a nice 1893 that has had a tang sight removed from it many years ago, and thought about replacing it. I'm not sure which one to look for.
Thanks,
Ed

  Lyman 52 tang sight most commonly. J series for .32-40 and .38-55 calibers.
  52 JA for .25-36, 30-30, .32 HPS
  
  The Lyman 103 tang is higher end with large aperture for target shooting. Very collectable, therefore pricier.
  
  Marbles made a flexible joint tang M4 for 32-40 & 38-55. M5 for the others.
