Default Ghost Ring Sights for Marlin 1895

I am trying to locate and purchase a ghost ring sight for my Marlin 1895.
Does anyone have either a SX or Skinner sight for sale.
Does anyone know a retailer who sells either of these sights.

I ordered mine a few years ago from Skinners website. No problems shipping here, and was very pleased with the sights. Highly recommend.

I bought a Skinner from Andy for my GBL with factory marlin front sight, my brother has a factory XS on his SBL. Both work well, but I find that I like my skinner better for hunting because of the interchangeable peep sizes which is nice when light changes also it just looks "right" with the blued steel and brown walnut. I do like my brothers XS a bit better for bear defense/shtf applications due to simplicity and I find that the XS front sight shows up very well in low light/ dark timber, plus if you get the XS lever rail setup you can put rings and a scope on as well. Can't go wrong with either lol, depends on your tastes lol. I ordered mine from skinner online and also received A++ customer service. Most decent gun shops should be able to bring in an XS for you, maybe Brownells will ship here too. -SQK

Default Ghost Sites

Thanks for your feedback. I have narrowed it down to either Skinner or SX.
Looks as though both are good products. My primary use will be defensive, but I am having so much shooting it I may try hunting with it as well. I do however want to stick to metal open sights.

I just ordered and received the skinner winger peep for my 1894. Great service and fast shipping if you order asked sure you get the dovetail blank for when you remove the factory rear sight.
