tang D&T 0.8"... what tang sight fits?

Post by MacEntyre »

My old Stevens 425 is D&T on the tang with screws 0.8" center to center. Those two screws are in addition to the tang bolt.

What tang sight will fit that?

I did not measure from the tang bolt to the screw closest to the trigger, but it's just a little short of what is required for a Lyman #2 (Win92).

IIRC, one of the tang peep sights (I disremember which - Taurus or Marbles) has an elongated/slot-type hole in the base for the front base screw, to accommodate a variety of hole spacing.

Call Marble's, they will very likely be able to set you up with just the right sight. Good people to work with.

After the acquisition, and with all their products made in China, they still have good people? That's great! I'll call 'em!
