The Marlin 1895 is one of the best brush guns ever made, but the factory buckhorn sights leave a lot on the table. This Midwest Industries Ghost Ring Rail Sight Set fixes that in one clean install. You get a heavy-duty rear ghost ring aperture for fast, instinctive target acquisition, a steel front post, and a 4-inch section of Picatinny rail up top so you can add a red dot without ever giving up your irons. Everything is machined from hardcoat anodized 6061 aluminum with steel sight elements, so it holds zero and shrugs off the punishment a .45-70 dishes out.
Ghost rings are all about speed. Your eye naturally centers the front post inside the big rear ring, which means quicker shots on hogs, bear, or anything crashing through thick timber. The wide windage and elevation range lets you dial in whatever load you're feeding it, from lighter 300-grain factory stuff to heavier hard-cast handloads. Owners who put decades on their eyes often mention how much easier these are to pick up than the tiny factory sights.
The short Picatinny rail is the sleeper feature here. Mount a compact red dot like a Sig Romeo5 and you can co-witness through the ghost ring, or just flip between the two without changing anything on the gun. It's a lighter, lower-profile setup than a lot of the full-length rail systems out there, and it keeps the classic lines of the rifle intact.
This set is made in the USA and carries the Midwest Industries lifetime warranty. Install is straightforward for a handy owner, though a gunsmith makes quick work of it. Kit includes the sight adjustment tool, a rear sight delete wedge to fill the factory dovetail, extra hardware, and Vibra-tite for the screws. Keep in mind these are cut for the Marlin 1895 platform, so double-check your model before ordering, especially if you're running a newer production or a 336.
It's designed for the Marlin 1895 platform and its variants, including guns like the 1895GBL. Minor fitment work can sometimes be needed depending on your specific rifle. It is not cut to work with the 336, so if you own one of those you'll want a different setup.
Yes, that's the whole idea. The 4-inch Picatinny rail lets you mount a compact red dot while keeping the ghost ring aperture, so you can co-witness or switch between the two without changing anything. A Sig Romeo5 is a popular pairing that co-witnesses nicely, though optic height varies by model so it's worth confirming your dot's centerline.
It's a manageable job for a handy owner and often takes only a few minutes for the rail portion. You'll remove the factory iron sights and the receiver screw plugs, then torque the receiver screws to about 10 inch-pounds with the included Vibra-tite. Midwest Industries recommends a gunsmith for the front sight work, and a small screwdriver comes in handy there.
The body and rail are machined from hardcoat anodized 6061 aluminum, while the rear aperture and front sight post are steel for durability. It's made in the USA and backed by the Midwest Industries lifetime warranty. That combination holds up well to the recoil of heavy .45-70 loads.
