Xs Sight Systems Lever Rail Ghost Ring Ws - Marlin 30As Dovetail Front$153.74
Availability: In Stock
The XS Sights Lever Rail Ghost Ring WS for Marlin 1894 rifles bridges the gap between classic lever-action shooting and modern optics versatility. This dovetail-mounted front sight system pairs a Picatinny-spec aluminum rail with rugged all-steel backup iron sights, letting you run a scope directly over the receiver, mount a scout scope forward, or add a red dot without removing your primary glass. It's the kind of upgrade that respects the 1894's heritage while opening up new ways to hunt and shoot.
The heart of the system is the Ghost Ring rear sight—a large-aperture design that prioritizes speed and sight picture in the field. You get two interchangeable apertures (.230" and .191" inside diameter) to dial in your preference based on lighting conditions, whether you're working timber at dawn or taking long shots in bright sun. Windage and elevation adjustments are fully user-accessible. Up front, the XS White Stripe sight replaces your factory blade and ramp with a blued steel body and high-contrast white stripe, making target acquisition quick even in variable light. The white-on-black post stands out cleanly against any background.
Installation is straightforward but intentional: the system requires removal of the factory rear sight, and all fasteners torque to 20 inch-pounds—respect that limit to avoid stripping screws. Fair warning: moving the rear sight from barrel to receiver means you'll need to re-zero after install. If you're running an octagon-barrel Marlin, this rail won't fit; it's designed for standard Marlin 1894 receivers. Alternate front sight heights are available if you need to dial in your zero.

No. This Lever Rail is designed for standard Marlin 1894 receivers and does not fit rifles with octagon barrels.
Yes. The system is designed to let you run a scope over the receiver or mount a scout scope or red dot forward, while keeping the Ghost Ring and White Stripe backup sights in place for quick iron-sight backup.
Installation requires removal of your factory rear sight, and moving the rear sight from the barrel to the receiver will necessitate re-zeroing. Take your time with setup, and remember to torque all fasteners to exactly 20 inch-pounds—over-torquing can break screws. Alternate front sight heights are available if you need to adjust your zero point.
The .230" aperture is larger and better in low light; the .191" aperture is smaller and works well in bright conditions. Both are included, so you can swap them based on the day's lighting and your preference.
