As far as after market sights, I’ve got an XS ghost sight set on the Marlin 1894 and the Williams peep sets on the others. Some places sell the rear Williams peeps by themselves, but I found it’s better to get the set with the fiber optic front from someplace like Natchez.com

What is a "drift"? If the OP does not know what a dovetail is, will he know what a brass drift is? Is that a pile of wind blown brass snow?
