Xs Sights Lvrail Gr Sight Ws Mrlin/Rgr 1894

The XS Sights Lever Rail Ghost Ring rear sight with White Stripe front sight is a receiver-mounted upgrade system designed specifically for Marlin and Ruger 1894 lever-action rifles. This all-steel backup iron sight setup replaces your factory rear sight and front blade, giving you a rugged, traditional sighting system while simultaneously opening up your receiver for optic mounting—something the original rifle wasn't designed for. If you shoot a 1894 and want the flexibility to run both irons and a scope, or to add a scout scope or red dot without permanent modifications, this rail-and-sight combo delivers both.

The heart of the system is the Picatinny-spec aluminum rail, anodized for durability and machined to accept optics in multiple positions along the receiver. Mount a standard scope directly over the action, push a scout scope forward for its signature eye relief, or clamp a red dot anywhere the rail allows. The rear Ghost Ring sight itself is fully adjustable for windage and elevation, and it ships with two different apertures—a .230" and .191" opening—so you can dial in the right sight picture whether you're hunting in bright sunlight or low-light conditions. The Ghost Ring design is purpose-built for speed; the larger diameter gives you a wide field of view and fast target acquisition, making it ideal for hunting scenarios where you need to move quickly between close and mid-range targets.

The XS White Stripe front sight replaces your factory blade and ramp with a blued steel post featuring a painted white stripe. That white stripe on black post combination cuts through gloom and glare, standing out sharp against any background color. Installation is straightforward—you'll remove the factory rear sight and secure the rail with screws torqued to 20 inch-pounds (over-tightening risks breaking them). Fair warning: moving the rear sight from barrel to receiver can shift your zero, but XS backs the system with a No Questions Asked Warranty, and alternate front sight heights are available if you need fine-tuning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this rail fit my Marlin or Ruger 1894?

Yes, this system is designed for Marlin 1894 models (including JM, Remington-manufactured, and Ruger-manufactured versions) that have a front sight installed in the ramp. If your rifle has the standard front ramp setup, you're good to go.

Can I mount a scope and keep the iron sights?

Absolutely. The Picatinny rail allows you to mount an optic—whether a full-size scope, scout scope, or red dot—in multiple positions along the receiver, while the Ghost Ring rear sight and White Stripe front sight remain your backup irons. You get the best of both worlds.

What's included, and what do I need to install it?

The system includes the Picatinny rail, the Ghost Ring rear sight with two apertures (.230" and .191"), and the XS White Stripe front sight. You'll need to remove your factory rear sight during installation. Make sure to torque all screws to 20 inch-pounds—over-tightening can break them.

Will my zero shift after I install this?

Possibly. Because the rear sight moves from the barrel to the receiver, you may need to re-zero. XS offers alternate front sight heights through their No Questions Asked Warranty to help you dial it in if needed.
