Marble Arms .343'' Barrel Mounted 1/16'' 34-W Front Sight Steel White
$16.46
The Marble Arms barrel-mounted front sight is a classic solution for rifles with dovetail cuts machined directly into the barrel. This .343" sight features a 1/16" white polymer bead—the flat-faced ivory option that stands out clearly against most hunting and range backgrounds. If you're building or restoring a rifle with traditional open sights, this steel construction delivers the simplicity and reliability that generations of shooters have trusted.
Marble Arms front sights are precision-manufactured to exacting standards, with gracefully contoured blades that slope toward the muzzle for a clean, functional profile. The rounded base sides fit snugly into barrel dovetails without modification, and the "W" designation indicates a 17/32" (13.5mm) base width—the standard for most classic rifle platforms. Steel construction means durability; the sight will hold zero and withstand hard use in the field or at the bench.
The white polymer bead is a proven choice for quick target acquisition and visibility in varied light. Whether you're setting up a vintage rifle, a modern build with old-school aesthetics, or any gun that accepts barrel-mounted dovetail sights, this Marble Arms piece integrates cleanly with your rifle's lines while keeping you focused on what matters: clean sight picture and consistent shot placement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles accept a barrel-mounted Marble Arms front sight?
Any rifle with a dovetail cut machined directly into the barrel can accept this sight. Verify that your rifle has a barrel dovetail (not a ramp-mounted base) before ordering. The 17/32" wide base is the standard size for most classic and traditional rifle designs.
How is the white bead different from other Marble Arms bead options?
This sight features a flat-faced white polymer (ivory) bead in 1/16" diameter. Marble Arms also offers Pope's Island gold and other finishes, but this model provides a high-contrast white sight picture for reliable target acquisition in most lighting conditions.
Does this sight come with installation tools or dovetail instructions?
This product is the sight itself. Installation requires a dovetail pusher or gunsmith service, as the sight must be carefully seated into your barrel's dovetail cut.
Can I use this sight on a rifle with a ramp base?
No. This is a barrel-mounted sight designed for rifles with dovetails cut into the barrel itself. If your rifle has a ramp-mounted front sight base, you'll need a different Marble Arms model designed for ramp installation.
