Marlin 60 front sight

[middy]

I just bought a used model 60 sb, it seems to be in fine condition except the orange plastic front sight is all chewed up (the hood is missing). I'd like to get a black steel replacement, maybe with a gold bead, but I don't know the specifications. What size/style dovetail and what height do I need? Also, a replacement hood might be nice... anyone know where to get these parts?

Brownells should have the parts you need:

I guess my question is really: does the model 60 use the standard ramp-mounted, 3/8" X .375" dovetail front sight? What is the appropriate height?

For the best-selling .22 rifle in America there sure is a dearth of information and aftermarket parts for the model 60...

Numrich probally has them.

Brownells, Ellet Bros might have what you need. Both of my 60s have no hood and no plastic, so I'm not exactly sure what you need.
