Ranger Point Precision has an option. https://www.rangerpointstore.com/fib...c-front-sights
I have this Marlin with every single option from Ranger Precision. Their products are expensive but extremely well made. They are a small shop that specializes in custom motorcycle parts. The Marlin is slick, slick, slick.
Thanks for the replies. My current production CSBL has an XS front sight. It's a ramp that attaches to the barrel by 2 screws. The Ranger may work. I will contact them to find out. Best, ELN.
My 1997 build 1894 came with a front sight dovetailed into the ramp. It's a standard 3/8 dovetail. Williams fiber optic fit, and is available in a selection of heights.

Not another dime.
These sights are OEM on the current Marlin 1894 CSBL: https://www.xssights.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=993390. Note the front sights is one piece, no dovetail, and attached by two screws. Finding a replacement fiber optic is proving difficult.
Here is the reply from Ranger Point Precision about fitting a fiber optic front sight to replace the OEM XS on the Marlin 1894 CSBL:
"Thanks for your interest in our parts. You’ll need a Marlin factory sight ramp that our sight can slide into the dovetail. Expect these will be back in stock soon.
