Marble Arms .290'' Ramp Mounted 1/16'' 29-Mr Front Sight Brass Gold

The Marble Arms .290'' ramp-mounted front sight in brass gold is a classic choice for shooters who want reliable iron sights on rifles with factory ramp bases. Built with a contoured steel blade and finished in blued steel for durability and a traditional look, this front sight delivers the kind of no-batteries, always-ready aiming reference that works whether you're hunting, plinking, or running your rifle through its paces at the range. The 1/16'' brass gold bead provides a visible sight picture in varied light conditions.

The "MR" designation indicates this is a ramp-mounted design, engineered to fit rifles with a ramp base on the barrel. The base is .340" wide, a standard dimension that makes installation straightforward on compatible platforms. Marble Arms has been manufacturing quality rifle sights for over a century, and this sight reflects that heritage—simple, functional, and built to stay zeroed.

Whether you're restoring a vintage rifle, upgrading from damaged sights, or building a truck gun that doesn't rely on electronics, a quality iron sight like this one earns its place on your rifle. Pair it with a Marble Arms rear sight to complete a matched set, or integrate it into your existing sight picture.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rifles does this ramp-mounted front sight fit?

The Marble Arms .290'' ramp-mounted sight is designed for rifles with a factory ramp base on the barrel and a .340" wide base diameter. Check your rifle's ramp specifications before purchasing to ensure compatibility.

Can I use this front sight without a rear sight?

A front sight alone will not provide a complete aiming system. You'll need a rear sight—preferably a matching Marble Arms ramp-mounted rear sight—to establish a sight picture and zero your rifle.

Is the bead color suitable for low-light hunting?

The brass gold bead on this model provides good visibility in many lighting conditions. For extremely low-light hunting, you might also consider Marble Arms' ivory or other bead options, though those are not the finish on this particular sight.

What's included in the package?

You receive the front sight assembly itself. Installation on a compatible ramp base typically requires basic gunsmithing knowledge or professional installation.
