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. Thanks.

Re: B92 Front Sight Blade
Original blades were right at 1/16" wide ,not sure if Browning B92 used same or not .Should be close or just make one .That's what I did when I made my post type sight for my Rossi.
I think Marbles still make these in varying heights or at least still can be found pretty easy if you want bead type.

Re: B92 Front Sight Blade
The standard B92 had the base and blade made as one piece. The Browning Centennial 92s had a pinned in blade.
If yours has the one piece, you can file or have it milled to take a blade, or you could get a different rear sight, which may be simpler.
Mine came with a drill dimple in the rear face with paint in it making it sort of a bead. I painted it bright orange and it stands out in near darkness, but I put a Lyman receiver sight on it so I never had to change the height of the front sight. If you drill and tap it for a receiver sight, be sure to back the tap out more frequently than normal, the receivers are pretty hard and can break a tap easily if you dont keep it cleaned out. Id suggest backing it out every 1/4 to 1/3 turn and use plenty of cutting oil.

Re: B92 Front Sight Blade
Mine is a Centennial.
I guess I will find the right size punch & go from there.
I'd like to get the top left one in pic to work.

Re: B92 Front Sight Blade
Looks like bottom left may be taller? Top left blade is for 32 WS model 94 I believe.
