Description
The Marble Arms #95 Folding Sporting Rear Sight is one of those parts that has earned its reputation the long way, by riding on lever guns since 1906 and never really going out of style. It slots into a standard 3/8-inch dovetail and gives your rifle a crisp, traditional rear leaf with a hand-painted white enamel diamond that pulls your eye right where it needs to go. If you've ever fought to center a bead in a rough factory U-notch, this is the kind of upgrade you notice on the very first shot.
What Sets the Marble Arms #95 Rear Sight Apart
The big draw here is the folding leaf. Flip it down and it tucks out of the way, which is handy for snag-free carry, storage, or running a tang-mounted peep sight while keeping the barrel sight in reserve. This is a long-shank, barrel-mounted design, so it adjusts for elevation right at the sight using the center plate and lock screw without needing a separate step elevator. Elevation runs roughly .320 to .420 inches high, and it's screw and drift adjustable for windage. The whole thing is built from steel with a black coated finish, so it looks the part on a classic rifle and holds up to real use.
Rifles the #95 Folding Sight Fits
This one drops into the 3/8-inch dovetail found on a huge range of guns from Winchester, Marlin, Remington, Savage and others. Folks run it on everything from Marlin 336 lever guns to single-shots and various sporting rifles. Worth noting up front: like most quality dovetail sights, it may need minor fitting to sit tight and square, so a little file work or a gunsmith's touch is normal and expected. Once it's set, you get a rock-solid classic rear that folds flat when you want it gone and pops right back up when you need it.
For anyone restoring a lever gun, swapping out a beat-up factory sight, or pairing a barrel sight with a tang peep, the #95 hits the sweet spot of old-school looks and genuinely useful function.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles does the Marble Arms #95 rear sight fit?
It's designed for the standard 3/8-inch dovetail found on a wide range of rifles from Winchester, Marlin, Remington, Savage and more. It's a popular swap on lever guns like the Marlin 336 and on single-shot sporting rifles. Just measure your dovetail first, since a few makers cut theirs slightly off the standard 3/8-inch width.
Does the #95 folding rear sight require fitting to install?
It can. Like most quality dovetail sights, it may need minor fitting to sit tight and square in the slot. A little careful file work gets it seated properly, and if you're not comfortable doing it yourself, a gunsmith can fit it in a few minutes.
Why would I want a folding rear sight instead of a fixed one?
The folding leaf drops flat out of the way, which keeps it from snagging during carry or storage and protects the leaf from accidental knocks. It also pairs nicely with a tang-mounted peep sight, letting you fold the barrel sight down and use the peep, then flip it back up as a backup.
How do I adjust the Marble Arms #95 sight for elevation and windage?
Elevation is handled right at the sight using the center plate and center plate lock screw, so you don't need a separate step elevator. Windage is set by drifting the sight in its dovetail or using the screw adjustment. Plan on doing your final zero from a solid rest with the ammo you actually hunt or shoot.
