This old “hunter” is being auctioned at
https://bid.landsboroughauctions.com/Winchester-Model-94-Lever-Action-32WS-Rifle_i52896362
I am not really interested in purchasing but its honest “looks” appeal to me.
The description doesn’t say but the tang sight seems to be a Lyman, No. 1 perhaps ?
The rear sight was replaced and reads “Marble’s Gladstone Mich. USA”, any ideas about the vintage of this sight ?
The front blade seems also replaced and looks to be unusually tall, is that because of the Lyman ?
Are peep sights common on carbines ? Would it add much precision on a 20″ barrel ?
Saddle ring is gone, perhaps removed on purpose if original owner was a dedicated hunter.
Serial 451875, .32 Win
Not sure how to edit the title of a topic, I meant to write Lyman, not Lymam

No doubt this old gun has been there & done that. Tang sight adds precision to ANY brl. But gun sure doesn’t need non-original rear sight, that interferes with use of tang sight.

Clarence going to stir that pot again!

Ye shall know the truth…
It’s a .32 Special carbine in poor condition with replacement sights. It’s if little value, except as a shooter. But, if you want a shooter, better to get a .30 WCF instead as, unless you reload, the cost of .32 Special ammunition is prohibitive.

That’s a valid point. I just can’t get my head around not being a hand loader. I know some guys don’t reload but I can’t imagine not doing it. Aside from the financial savings (which is substantial), it’s a very interesting and rewarding hobby. 
I like what Clarence wrote: … this gun has been there & done that. Very suggestive … this carbine “lived” the way it was meant to live.
Anyhow, including fees, taxes, and CAD-USD conversion, for the record it sold for $621 USD, before shipping.
I hope whoever bought it will keep it as is and not bring it to the esthetician surgeon.

Not a bad price, considering tang sight is worth $150 or more. Out of the half-doz ’94s I once had & sold, the only one I kept for myself, & still have, is one not too much better than this one.
