Back to open sights?

Maybe. I've got a Marlin 22WMR and Mossberg 352 22-shv-L-LR that both had old cloudy junk scopes.
More to come.
I removed them. Found out the Marlin has a brass bead.
But its a drift adjustable dovetail. No bueno at the range. At home only.
The Mossberg has a windage ajust screw.
Today's clear scopes are inexpensive, but I think I may try the open sights first. I bore sighted both to get them close. The Marlin's rear is as high as at can go. The Mossberg is about in the middle. Both look to maybe shoot a bit left. We'll see. Won't hurt to try. Can't say when it'll be, but a starts a start.

What is the model number of the marlin? It looks like a tube fed 25
The magazine has an adjustable follower to cycle shorts, longs or long rifle.

I used Kroil, isopropyl alcohol, an old SKS front sight tool, a brass punch, some washers, and scotch tape, and a file. :tooth:
Took the sight off, removed the post, cleaned it. Reinstalled. Moves good. Still gonna be a pita at the range.

Take a pencil with you and make some reference lines on either side of the screw heads. Shouldn't take much time at all to figure out where it needs to be.

And a brass punch.
