Went to the range today to finally try a new gun I got for Christmas. The front sight on the rifle is this little blade with a bead, covered by a roof looking thing.
Now, according to the good folks at Marlin, this is a 'ramp front sight with brass bead and Wide-Scan(TRADEMARK) Hood.
I have no real problem with the blade and bead(except old eyes) but after 15 rounds of .357, the 'Wide-Scan(TRADEMARK) Hood, flies off the end of the barrel.
It doesn't seem to effect the function of the gun. Now I have a 'ramp front sight with brass bead and Mother Nature's(My TRADEMARK) Hood. But...if stuff is flying off the outside of the gun...just what is going on inside my new gun?
Is this the kind of thing I should call the good folks at Marlin about, or just live with Mother Nature's(TRADEMARK) Hood?
