Re: Win 94 iron sights?

Re: Win 94 iron sights?

Thanks, Joe. I guess I'll try a new front sight blade somewhere between .312 and .365, probably .343, and the Williams front sight pusher.

Re: Win 94 iron sights?

Yeah, about the only other suggestion I have is to drop the cash (about $60.00) on one of the Williams front sight pusher tools as sold by Midway, Brownells and others. I've bought more rifles with buggered up ramp front sights than I can count. The tool will prevent that. Griff could well be right...

Re: Win 94 iron sights?

The 1941 94 has one screw on the back side (toward the shooter) on the right side of the blade. I tried taking the screw out and moving what looks like a sheet metal blade, but it wouldn't move and I was afraid of pounding it off and damaging it. Your rear sight is most likely original.
