I bought another Model 8 this past weekend. The rifle has this neat Marbles E-6 front sight. I am still abit of a rookie collector and have never seen one other than book pics.

P.S
Cam, you are welcome to use this picture in the sight picture Gallery.

I've never seen this Marbles sight either, very cool. Thanks for the photo permission, I'll put it in the gallery.

I've got the same Marbles front sight on my 1914 vintage 35 cal. Bob Sears-formerly of The American Rifleman tech staff- told me the hole below the bead was to allow more light on the bead. Norm CSC 1-48 INF 73-76
