Howdy folks. I am new to the Marlin Owners website, and since my main interest is in rimfires, I thought I'd introduce myself. I am a serious collector of Mossberg .22 caliber rifles, (please don't hold this against me :biggrin, but have been acquiring a few Marlins, and store brands made by Marlin, as well as a few vintage H&R's recently. I picked up a very clean Model 99M1 in nearly perfect condition yesterday. It had a period Japanese Tasco 3X9X32 scope mounted on it, and naturally the rear sight had been lost over time. I understand that they bring a premium, however, I would like to purchase, or trade, for an original one. I also read somewhere that a few years back that a company was making reproductions of these sights. Does anyone have any details concerning this, or where I could find an original sight? Thanks in advance for any help given.
I looked on their online listing for the 99M1 and only saw a few components for the sight listed. This has been my downfall in collecting these vintage and out of production .22's. I am compelled to restore them to their original configuration. This is also the reason that there never seems to be any extra jingle in my pockets too. :biggrin:
Welcome from Goldthwaite, TX! If you don't get an answer in the welcome section, you might repost your question in the rimfire section of the forum. We also have a section of Marlin Owners for Mossbergs:biggrin: Glad you're here. John
Hey Gary,
I'm a couple miles North of Stoney Creek. I also belong to the Airfield Shooting Club at the 4H Center in Wakefield. Where exactly is Dendron?
