Tang sight for model 94 .25-35

I just bought a 1942 vintage Winchester model 94 in .25-35. I have used Marble's tang sights very sucessfully on several other leverguns. Does anyone know if the Marble's will fit a 94 of this vintage without drilling and tapping?

Without seein caint say but I can welcome U to the Forum "Welcome".
Nice score on the 94 but if U have hung around any at all U know that Pictures r required. We can draw a vague picture in Our head as to what U have but without pics I guess We will just have to take Ur word for it. Just kiddin of course (kinda). U will like it here.

You can usually use the Marbles tang sight with just the tang screw, leaving the other hole blank. I have 4 rifles rigged this way and it works just fine. Put a little dab of epoxy under the sight base if you want, not really needed, cinch the tang screw down nice and tight with some blue loctite, shoot forever, no worries.

Can't give too many specifics yet since I have only seen photos of the gun. It is being shipped to me today from TN. I found three boxes of Winchester factory loads (it wasn't easy) to get things started. Am open to load suggestios. I've been looking for a .25-35 for some time, and believe I got a pretty good deal at $700 for one in nice condition and really look forwardto getting it to the range next week.

Welcome to Leverguns!

Per the Midas book, the 94 tang was drilled & tapped for a tang sight up to about the million mark. Here is a pic of what the tang looks like if there is a pre-drilled hole for the tang sight:
