I've had a 336C in 30/30 for about a year now and need help with changing the ront blade. I recently put a williams peep on it and decided to go with a XS white stripe post front.

I went with the .5" and it turned out to be too tall. does anyone know what height I need? I don't want to guess any more.

Also, XS makes there sights too wide for the base, so I would like to go with another company... any ideas?

Thanks for your help. -Coop

I'm quite sure if you get with XS and tell them your problem, they'll exchange the sight for the proper one if they make it.

yeah, I know,

I attempted to file it and ended up with a useless front sight..

Depending on how old your 336C is,( ramp height), and what model William's peep site you have, (top mount, side mount), will make a difference. I wound up putting a .375M on my older 336. Call Williams with the details of your gun, and ask for technical advice. They can usually tell you which sight you need. 1-800-530-9028. Let me know how you make out. Landngroove

Like Landngroove said, I would call Williams they have never sent me the wrong sight hight. I would also go with their Front Fire sight.

It's a newer model, 1-3 yrs. old. I did get the firesight the first time but didn't like the way it fit (riser block was a huge, oversized block).

Will call them today. The receiver sight is the top mount WGRS for the 336.

Will update.

How do you read the S/N for production date?

Best, -Coop
