What Marlin rifle models is the Lyman Tang Sight compatible with, and what are the installation requirements for Australian customers?

The Lyman No. 2 Marlin Tang Sight is specifically designed for Marlin lever-action rifles, including Models 336, 1894, 1895, and 30 Series. It is not compatible with newer Marlin rifles equipped with a tang safety. For Australian customers, most Marlin rifles will require the tang to be drilled and tapped for mounting, and we strongly recommend having it fitted by a licensed gunsmith to ensure precise alignment and compliance with local firearm modification regulations.

What are the key features of the Lyman Tang Sight, and how does it enhance shooting accuracy for different uses?

This all-steel tang sight features a specialized adapter base that avoids covering the serial number and includes clear height index marks for precise elevation adjustments up to .800". It comes with two interchangeable apertures: a .093" quick-sighting hunting aperture for fast target acquisition in conditions like the Australian bush, and a .040" large disk target aperture for enhanced precision in sport shooting. This versatility makes it ideal for both hunting and target shooting.

How durable is the Lyman Tang Sight, and what level of precision can I expect from its adjustments?

The Lyman No. 2 Marlin Tang Sight is constructed entirely from machined solid steel, ensuring exceptional durability and longevity, even in rugged outdoor conditions. It offers precise and repeatable elevation adjustments up to .800" via clear height index marks, allowing shooters to fine-tune their aim for various distances and conditions. The inclusion of two distinct aperture sizes further enhances precision for both fast hunting shots and deliberate target shooting.

Marlin Lever Action Tang Sight - Lyman LY-S2MAR

The Lyman No. 2 Marlin Tang Sight (Model 336), SKU LY-S2MAR (Manufacturer Part Number: 3902100), is a high-precision, vintage-style folding peep sight engineered specifically for classic Marlin lever-action rifles. Machined entirely from solid steel rather than castings, this robust all-steel sight serves as a reliable upgrade over standard factory iron sights, significantly improving alignment and accuracy. A key design highlight is its specialized adapter base, which allows the sight to mount securely to the rifle's tang without covering or damaging the firearm's serial number. This ensures compliance with identification standards while maintaining the clean, classic lines of your rifle.

Key Features:

All-Steel Construction: Machined from solid steel to provide exceptional durability and withstand the recoil of heavy lever-action calibers.
Specialized Marlin Adapter Base: Custom-engineered base mounts directly to the tang without obscuring the rifle's serial number.
Dual Aperture System: Includes a .093-inch quick-sighting aperture for fast target acquisition in low-light hunting scenarios, and a .040-inch large disk target aperture for high-precision shooting.
Repeatable Elevation Adjustments: Features clear height index marks on the aperture post, allowing for up to .800 inches of precise elevation adjustment for long-range targets.
Folding Design: The sight easily folds down when not in use, protecting the aperture during transport or when using alternative sighting systems.

Who It Is For:

It is highly suited for vintage rifle match competitors and Cowboy Action Shooting enthusiasts who require period-correct, high-performance iron sights that meet competition guidelines. Additionally, deer hunters targeting game in thick scrub will benefit from the fast target acquisition provided by the wider hunting aperture, making it an essential upgrade for traditional firearm enthusiasts seeking practical accuracy improvements.
