Marble Arms .570'' Barrel Mounted 1/16'' 57-W Front Sight Brass Gold
$16.46
The Marble Arms .570" Barrel Mounted 1/16" 57-W Front Sight in Brass Gold is a classic front sight for rifles with barrel-dovetail cuts, built for shooters who prefer the simplicity and reliability of traditional open sights. This brass gold bead sight delivers a warm, visible aiming point that works well in varied light conditions—a choice favored by hunters, competition shooters, and those running vintage or custom rifles without modern optics.
Marble Arms has been making rifle sights since 1903, and this barrel-mounted design reflects that heritage: a contoured steel blade that slopes gracefully forward, paired with a rounded base engineered to seat solidly into standard rifle dovetail cuts. The 1/16" brass gold bead provides a clear, precise aiming reference, and the "W" base profile (17/32" wide) fits the dovetail standard found on many traditional rifle barrels and aftermarket precision builds.
Whether you're setting up a hunting rifle, restoring a classic, or building a custom receiver, this front sight offers the durability and no-nonsense function that have made Marble Arms sights a staple across generations of American shooters. It's the kind of sight that works without batteries, doesn't fog, and will outlast most of us.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this front sight fit my rifle's barrel?
This sight mounts into dovetail cuts machined directly into the rifle barrel. If your rifle has a standard barrel dovetail and uses Marble Arms or compatible "W" profile sights, this will fit. Verify your barrel's dovetail dimension before ordering.
What's the difference between brass gold and ivory beads?
Brass gold beads have a warm, yellowish tone that can be easier to acquire in dim or overcast conditions. Ivory (white polymer) beads offer higher contrast in bright light. This sight features the brass gold bead.
Can I use this on a rifle with a front sight ramp?
No. This is a barrel-mounted sight designed for rifles with dovetail cuts milled directly into the barrel. Rifles with separate ramp bases require a ramp-mounted front sight.
Is this sight adjustable?
This is a fixed front sight. Elevation and windage adjustments are made via the rear sight. Front sights from Marble Arms are precision-manufactured to support accuracy when paired with an adjustable rear.
