Have seen some early Lyman and Marbles tang sights for the #2 that had the base arched to match the curvature of the tang.
Probably depended on the individual who installed the sight.

Ballards may be weaker,

The rollstamps on #2 Rem. barrels dictate the era the gun was made. That rollstamp was the third one used, and should date your gun to the 1870's to 1886 era. Definitely a blackpowder era #2. The final #2's were sold in 1909, and did not have the "& Sons" on the rollstamp.

Marlinguy-
Do you think this was made before, during or after the receivership of Remington? I assume it would be before, or during, since I doubt the new owners wanted the old E. Remington name on the barrel. Just another reason I like the oldies, character Cool
Thanks....Amanda

Remington stopped the use of E. Remington & Sons in 1888.  Remington Arms Co began 1889 and continued through 1910.
