Free XS Ghost Ring front and rear sight

Free to good home, one XS Ghost Ring set that came off my 1894C. The front sight is fine, just slightly boogered screw heads. The rear sight needs a new mounting screw, as I had to drill out the screw I installed with loc-tite. Hey, it's free, so no complaining. Merry Christmas.

My 1894C (2006) is smoother than my pre-safety non-slicked-up Interarms Rossi (circa 1980?), but the Rossi is better looking. I plan to scope the Marlin but that is not an option with the Rossi.
Get both like I did.
