Hi, I am looking for a tang sight for my 81, and found one on guns international listed as #S08 Marbles (Gladstone)R5 tang peep sight for a Rem. model 6. A gentleman told me that I needed an R6, not the R5 listed. My question is, will this fit? They appear so similar, it's hard to tell in the pic's. Any Wisdom for me, I want the correct one, and if this is it I don't want to let it slip away. Thanks.

I believe, and someone correct me here if I am mistaken, that the Marble tang sight for the Remington 8 ( and 81 for that matter) was the R-6. I think there are pre-drilled holes in the upper tang of the Remington Model 8 for a tang mounted peep sight, either a Lyman No 1A-AT or a Marble's R-6. There also seems to have been a tang mounted sight from King.

Hardrada55 is correct the mounting holes on the R5 will not line up with the pre-drilled holes on the model 8/81. For most of us drilling "new" holes in our guns is a no-no.
