Ditto on the Marbles tang sight for the Miroku Winchester 1886, including covering most of the now nearly invisible tang safety.
It works great on my ,45-90. I also installed the Marbles folding hunting (barrel) sight so that I could use either, depending on circumstances. At close range(up to 50 yards)the open sight is fine for shooting game. It has taken one elephant, a leopard, and a running bison with the open sight. My longer range shooting at typical game is done with the tang sight.

Having two sights also provides backup if one is damaged in the field.
NOTE - on my rifle, the tang sight would not lie completely flat because the top of it touched the front tip of the comb, so a friend took off just enough wood to allow it to lie completely flat. This minor change made a marked improvement in using the open sight, especially when speed is important.
