The Hart conversion is fairly common. I have have not seen the sight, what does it say on the side, Gross?

Michael,
Look at the 3rd picture. Your guess is probably better than mine.

It is Goss. I have a Goss receiver sight, no idea what it fits, but it is a beautifully made sight in excellent condition. They don't seem to be common.

Michael, Here you go:    I don't know what it fits. It mounts on the left side of a round receiver of about 1 inch diameter. The elevation scale is numbered at zero and ninty six. It is very crisply machined, you can see that even after all these years. Maybe we should have a separate sight thread, that would be interesting. I don't know enough about Goss, Vaver, Watson and the like.

Nick Strobel covers Marble-Goss in Old Gunsights and Rifle Scopes on pages 52-54.
"Marble-Goss Sleeve Sight
This sight was mounted by replacing the entire bolt sleeve assembly with the Marble-Goss sight. The sight then served the dual purpose of aperture sight and bolt sleeve. The sight featured a quick removable elevation staff,'hand-lapped thread', 1/4 minute click adjustments, and reversible disk carriage for choice of an iron or telescope height sight picture. Made for the Springfield Model 1903, Krag model 1898, Winchester Model 54 and 70."
Other types and models of Marble-Goss sights are also covered in Strobles book.

Now it is easy to read the scratches on Joel's sight.
"Hand Lapped" VERY nice...
Tried to fit it on anything 1878?
Maybe you just collect sights and don't need the guns? I've got a sh!tload around here myself, some for guns I will never own.
