Marble Arms Tang Sight on a Winchester 1892

Post by LeverGunner »

I have a Winchester 1892 made by Miroku. I have a Marbles tang sight for it, but I'm not thrilled with the appearance of the elongated slot for the rear screw. Did Marble always make the 1892 sight this way? If not, when did they change from a normal screw hole to an elongated slot?

I don't think there can be another explanation other than Marble's wants that sight to fit other lever actions as well as the model 92 or maybe the screw spacing is different on the Miroku than other model 92s.

Yes, that is a nice-looking setup.

Thanks yall. Here is Marble's page for this sight. http://www.marblearms.com/standard-peep-tang-sight.html

I have sight number 009808 which they state as for Winchester models 53-55-64-65-1892 (original)-1894.

Marble Arms lists sight number 009802 for Miroku made 1892s that have the tang safety.

My gun has been converted from the rebounding hammer and safety, to half cock notch and had the tang hole welded up by Turnbull Restoration. They supplied this sight with my gun.
