There isn't a single reason for the hood.
Another keyboard genius. I was told as a kid in the late 60's about the front hood when I bought my Marlin 39A for $89.95. Take if off when you hunt if you want, the gun shop owner said, it's there to protect the front sight when you travel. Simple.
Again, there AIN'T a reason for the front hood, in fact with all my TALLER front sights there ain't a way to put on.
Guessing you don't walk out the front door without a helmet either.
What a f*cking retard.
