i bought a marlin 444s made in 1971
someone took the front sight off to mount a scope, i want to take the scope off and put the front sight back on, my question is who sells the front sight/ramp. i found the hoods on ebay. but no ramp and sight. thank you for your help.

  Drilling and tapping new holes for a ramp is easy with the proper jig, without not so much. A low temp silver soldered ramp can be an easy DIY. I think Williams made a ramp to use with an existing dovetail. Got a local gunsmith, good chance they have stuff in stock to fix you up. The final correct height is important.
