Where is the best place to find accessories for the Marlin 1894C? The sights are horrible on this thing. I was thinking about changing them for F.O. front and peep rear.



I would also like to find a leather cartridge holder for the stock.



Any help would be appreciated.

Just Google Marlin peep sights.

Williams and Lyman both make dandy receiver mounted peep sights. Marble's has a tang mounted peep that might work. Midway or Brownell's would be good places to look. Buffalo Arms specializes in cowboy action shooting, so they tend to have a broad selection of accessories for leverguns.

XS Sights also makes a ghost-ring sight set for the Marlin 1894. Can be had from Brownells.

Placing a williams FP receiver aperture sight on my Marlin 39a made it into the best field rifle I own. Huge difference over the factory semi-buckhorn rear sight.

Go to Marlin Owners Forum - http://www.marlinowners.com/forums/index.php?PHPSESSID=ac8ttp9dtejbgt8ia8o4dqqif0&board=32.0

Williams sights or Skinner Sights are popular - I use Williams - I might by Skinner if I bought again

XS Sight Systems makes an excellent ghost ring.  I put them on my 1894 (44mag) and haven't looked back - awesome sights.

This.  

XS sights and those Brockman winged sights are amazing for the marlin leveractions.

Looks like I have plenty of options for sights! Anybody recommend a cartridge carrier for the stock?

I like the Eagle Stock pack, I use it for my 45-70.  It might be too bulky for the 1894 though.

Keep it light & simple!  I could see the logic for a 45-70 or 30-30....but the 1894 holds 10 cartridges.  Keep that thumper ABC.  She ain't meant to be tactical!  Carry a cartridge holster on your belt if you anticipate having to lob a volley of lead <100 yards.  From my view, if 10 rounds of 44magnum won't alleviate your situation....11 won't either

I should keep it simple but it would look oh so cool with a 10rds. of hard cast lead right at my disposal.
