XS Sights Ghost Ring WS Rifle Sights for Marlin 1894 with Lever Rail Mount Included

The XS Sights Ghost Ring WS rifle sights for the Marlin 1894 are a purpose-built upgrade for hunters and shooters who want faster target acquisition and better visibility in the field. This set replaces your factory rear sight with a receiver-mounted ghost ring aperture and a new front sight assembly, giving your lever gun a handling advantage that matters when seconds count. The included lever rail mount makes installation straightforward, though you'll need to remove the factory rear sight to complete the swap.

The ghost ring rear sight is the key here. Unlike a conventional rear peep, the large aperture delivers an exceptionally wide field of view—you see more of your surroundings and your target, which translates directly to faster follow-up shots and better situational awareness. The sight comes with two interchangeable apertures (.230" and .191" inside diameter) so you can dial in the right sight picture for whatever light you're hunting in. Full windage and elevation adjustment means you can zero it precisely to your rifle and ammunition.

Up front, the White Stripe (WS) front sight replaces the original blade and ramp with a blued steel post that features a distinctive painted white stripe. That white stripe stands out against virtually any background and performs well across changing light—it's there when you need it, whether you're in deep timber or open country. The white-on-black contrast is a proven design for fast, reliable sight picture acquisition.

One important note: moving the rear sight from the barrel to the receiver can introduce zero shift during installation, so you'll want to verify your zero at the range. XS backs the sight with their No Questions Asked Warranty, and alternate front sight heights are available if your initial zero tells you a different height is needed. Installation is DIY-friendly, but keep torque specs in mind—all screws should be set to 20 inch-pounds; over-torquing can damage them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these sights fit my Marlin 1894?

Yes, the XS Ghost Ring WS sights are designed specifically for the Marlin 1894 and come with the lever rail mount for installation. You will need to remove your factory rear sight to complete the swap.

What's the difference between the two apertures?

The set includes a .230" aperture and a .191" aperture so you can choose the sight picture that works best for your lighting conditions. The smaller aperture can offer more precision in bright light, while the larger one provides a faster sight picture in lower light.

Do I need to re-zero after installation?

Yes. Because the rear sight moves from the barrel to the receiver, some zero shift can occur during installation. You should verify your zero at the range after install. XS offers alternate front sight heights to help you dial it in if needed, and they're covered under their No Questions Asked Warranty.

Is installation something I can do myself?

The included lever rail mount makes installation accessible, but it does require removing the factory rear sight. Just remember that all screws torque to 20 inch-pounds—over-torquing can fracture them. If you're not comfortable with the work, a gunsmith can handle it quickly.
