Bill;
Your Marlin Model 15YN was not made in 2005. It was made in 1995. To have been made in 2005, the first two digits of the serial number would be 95. You subtract the first two digits from 100 to determine the year of manufacture. (i.e. 100 - 05 = 95 or 1995 )
Sounds like your rear sight has been changed at some time as the rear sight used on the Model 15 used an adjustable sliding elevator that fit into a slot in the rear sight.

Due to the increasing cost of ammunition, there will be no warning shot!
