Marble Arms .260'' Ramp Mounted 1/16'' 26-Mr Front Sight Brass Gold

The Marble Arms .260'' Ramp Mounted 1/16'' 26-MR front sight is a classic choice for shooters who want a reliable, no-frills front sight for rifles with factory ramp bases. Built from steel and finished in brass gold, this sight delivers clean lines and the proven durability Marble Arms has offered for generations. The gracefully sloped blade design keeps weight down and looks right on traditional and modern sporting rifles alike. If you're restoring a vintage gun, upgrading a base model rifle, or simply prefer mechanical sights over glass, this ramp-mounted front sight is made to last.

Ramp-mounted sights fit rifles that already have a raised ramp base on the barrel—no gunsmithing required. The .340" (8.6mm) wide base sits solidly on that ramp, and the blade's tapered profile won't snag on a sling or case. Brass gold finish resists corrosion and ages gracefully in the field or at the range. The 1/16'' blade is a proven profile for general hunting and target shooting at moderate distances.

Marble Arms front sights have been trusted on working rifles for over a century. This is unpretentious, mechanical iron-sight functionality—no batteries, no adjustments to fail, no dependency on technology. If your rifle was designed for open sights, or if you want a failsafe backup to a scope, Marble Arms delivers the straightforward performance that built their reputation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this front sight fit my rifle?

This is a ramp-mounted sight, so it's designed for rifles that have a raised ramp base already machined into the barrel. If your rifle has a factory ramp base, this sight will mount directly without gunsmithing. Check your rifle's barrel to confirm.

What's the difference between ramp-mounted and dovetail sights?

Ramp-mounted sights sit on top of a pre-existing ramp base on the barrel; dovetail sights require a dovetail slot to be cut into the barrel. This model is ramp-mounted only. Make sure your rifle has the ramp base before ordering.

Can I use this as a backup sight with a scope?

Yes. Many shooters run mechanical iron sights alongside a scope as a failsafe if the optic is damaged or the battery dies. A Marble Arms front sight like this one is a reliable, compact backup that won't interfere with most scope mounting systems.

What does the .260'' blade height mean?

The .260'' measurement is the height of the blade itself. Your total sight height will depend on the height of your ramp base. Marble Arms provides a sight selection chart to help you choose the right blade height for your specific rifle and ramp combination.
