iron sights
Iron sights are a system of shaped alignment markers (usually metal) used as a sighting device to assist in the aiming of a device such as a firearm, crossbow, or telescope, and exclude the use of optics as in telescopic sights or reflector (reflex) sights.
Iron sights are typically composed of two component sights, formed by metal blades: a rear sight mounted perpendicular to the line of sight and a front sight that is a post, bead, or ring. Open sights use a notch of some sort as the rear sight, while aperture sights use some form of a circular hole. Civilian, hunting, and police firearms usually feature open sights, while many military battle rifles employ aperture sights.
The earliest and simplest iron sights are fixed and cannot be easily adjusted. Many iron sights are designed to be adjustable, so that the sights can be adjusted for elevation or windage. On many firearms it is the rear sight that is adjustable.
For precision applications such as hunting or sniping the iron sights are usually replaced by a telescopic sight. Iron sights may still be fitted alongside other sighting devices (or in the case of some models of optics, incorporated integrally) for back-up usage.

Anyone want to trade my black MBUS for your tan? Barely used, work perfectly. Moving things around and could use for an FDE build. Meet in NW Portland. Thanks!
I just found a nice marlin 357 lever action. It has the factory Iron sites, who can suggest sites or ? for 65 year old eyes (I need glasses for reading). Thanks for all the wisdom, you guys are really helpful.
I went a different direction with sights so never used these. I did open the box and mount the front to see how it worked but never ran the sights per say. Please do your research to make sure these will fit your platform.
Parts removed from a Marlin 30AS chambered in 30/30. I've read that these should be compatible with a Marlin 336.
$20 gets everything, will ship for additional cost.
