Reggie, this rifle has a Semi Buckhorn Rear Sight, Wide Scan hooded front sight with a Drilled and tapped receiver. I would confirm the side drill/tap for side Peep Sight with Marlin at Gun Service & Consumer Service Dept: 1-800-544-8892 -- (https://www.google.com/search?q=marlin+1895+side+peep+sight&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiH3-GvnrffAhUsmuAKHepRC-wQ_AUIDygC&biw=1280&bih=618#imgrc=QJ6KhH_PBzWz4M:)
