Montana Vintage Arms Tang Sights?

[thomasrodco]

Is anyone familiar with Montana Vintage Arms as a source for tang sights for our old guns? I'm interested in getting one for my 1893 38-55.
MVA has a combo hunting/target sight based on the old Marbles sight, and I would like to know if anyone has bought one and what they think of it?

I have more MVA sights than I can count. I use them on all my Marlins as well as many other rifles. However, the one I do not have is the Marbles copy. I will say that the rest of their sights are the benchmark for all other sights. They are the gold standard. I would anticipate the same of their Marbles version. However, I generally prefer a Vernier for several reasons.

Great news! I have been hoping to find a vintage one, but I’ll probably just go with one of theirs and call it good.
Thanks!

MVA has fantastic sights, and they listen to customer feedback, and rework their sights to fix issues. Not that they have many! But back when they first came out with a sight designed for the 1893-1894 Marlins, they sat the pivot point closer to the middle, and the bolt contacted the staff when it was used on the 1893 Marlins. A friend of mine called and talked to them to explain what the issue was, and they were somewhat surprised. But they reworked their program to remake the pivot point further back and eliminate the issue. So all their sights work on Marlins with no contact between staff and breechbolt travel now.

Wow, that sounds great. Thanks!
