Midwest Marlin 1894 Extended Sight System .44 Caliber Rifle Upgrade
Midwest Industries
The Midwest Industries Marlin 1894 Extended Sight System brings modern ergonomics and modularity to a lever-action classic. If you shoot .357 rifles and want a handguard that combines traditional ghost ring sights with contemporary accessory rails, this integrated system transforms your 1894 into a more capable hunting and range platform. Built from hard coat anodized 6061 aluminum, it's rugged enough for fieldwork and light enough not to throw off the rifle's balance.
This isn't just a rail—it's a complete sight package. The ghost ring rear aperture and front sight post deliver the rapid target acquisition that lever-action shooters expect, while the included Midwest adjustment tool lets you dial in windage and elevation for your specific ammunition. The wide adjustment range means you're not locked into one load. A forward-mounted sling swivel accommodates traditional hunting slings, keeping the rifle configured the way generations of Marlin users prefer it.
The handguard runs a full-length top Picatinny rail, so you can add lights, lasers, or optics without sacrificing the ghost ring setup—or remove them entirely and run irons. An included 5-slot M-LOK section gives you mounting flexibility for tactical-style accessories if that's your style. The slim, lightweight profile and ultra-rigid aluminum construction mean zero flex at the point of contact with the receiver, which translates to repeatable accuracy and solid handling.
