Marlin bullseye spec's
Having been collecting Marlin's for almost 25 years I have both guns with and without the "Bullseye" trademark. I am an admin on a Marlin FB site and noticed someone commenting that there were 2 different sized bullseye's. That is news to me and I believe they are all the same size but am I wrong? The specs I have on some originals I have on hand are .374" dia and .512" long. Please let me know if there were some of another size. Couldn't find the info in the Brophy book.

Re: Marlin bullseye spec's
The size sounds correct. I also have never hear of two different diameters? As for length, I've never pulled an original out to see what they were? I ordered a bunch from Marlin years ago, and they were plenty long so I cut them in half and used half on each gun I replaced a bullseye on. Think I may still have some, but not sure where?

If you could find one of your old Marlin originals and measure the dia I would love to know. I have looked at some of my older guns and they seem to be smaller than the newer ones I have.
