Hello to all. I rescued an old Winchester over the weekend. Unfortunately, the rear sight is broken.
Naturally, the search for information on the rifle and sight led me here. I joined WACA. Thank you for the wealth of knowledge contributed by all.
I am in need of a Marbles 44A rear ladder sight. It is the later U-notch type marked to 20. The rifle has virtually no finish left on it. So, no need for a gem, just a solid functional sight.
Does anyone have one in your spare parts box that you would part with? Or, is there anyone out there that repairs these?
Thank you kindly,
Jeff

Jeff,
What is the serial number on your 1928 SRC? With it, I can pin down the exact month it was manufactured.
The rear sight you need is not a “Marbles” sight, but it is a No. 44A. They are frequently found on ebay if WACA member Ben does not have one for you.

Thank you. They do very much look like a marble product. I have much to learn about these.
I enjoyed participating in your survey. I’m glad someone is collecting all this data.

I have an experienced 44 Carbine sight… doesn’t have numbers on the staff… pm me & we can talk. Or, check the WACA magazine classified section for my ad & information. Thanks Bert, I owe you a cold one.
