Do these two rifles use the same mounts? I am looking at a mount that specifically says 1895, while other's I've seen are universal marlin mounts. Didn't know if maybe they had different screw spacings.
When you say drilled out different are you referring to the mount holes or the internals?
I"m specifically looking at the midwest industries ghost ring. I tried contacting them via phone which went nowhere and haven't heard back via email yet. The mount they have is specified for an 1895 so I wasn't sure if it had different spacing for the mounts
