B92 Front Sight Blade

So, I shot my new to me B92 .44 Mag with Winchester 240 grain JSP ammo. Grouped fairly well for me at 50 yards but about 6 inches high with my rear sight fully lowered. Do older Winchester carbine sight blades interchange or am I going to have to get creative? I think I have a few laying around. Tha...

Winchester 92 Issue

I have a Win 92 takedown 32-20 from the 20's. It is sometimes leaving the fired case in the chamber. Maybe 1/3 of the time.
My guess is the ejector but when it does eject proper, it launches them far enough that they are hard to find. Any ideas? Thanks.
