I broke down and bought the Ashley Ghost ring and front sight for the 1894 today. Hope I got the right one. I'll give an old man eyes report after I get it mounted.

It's a terrific set. Wise choice. Did you go for the .230 aperture and wide blade?

Good choice, I just put one on my 1895ss 45/70. Want to use it as a brush gun for black bear and pig. Still havant had  a chance to try it yet as my gun smith has my rifle and is porting it for me, as you get older the recoil from heavy loads seems to take a tole on the old body. Any way after I get it back will take it out and see ifin I can hit anything with it.

Good sight.  I have them on a 444Marlin Timber carbine.  They are surprisingly accurate and fast.

I felt they were a little expensive but they work well and look to be strong.

The trick is to get the front sight the right height and width.
