The transition from the 44A sight to the 22-series took place in early 1932, and it was coincident with the change from Nickel Steel to Proof Steel barrels, and the ramp style front sight. If your Carbine has the post w/pinned blade front sight, the 44A ladder sight was standard.

Got my number wrong, this gun was made in 1927 and has the 22 sight and 3C elevator. The barrel dovetail is cut 1″ farther forward than my other 1894 carbines, apparently for the longer sight.
Which M22 sight does it have? There are a bunch of them. Could be a M22-E as that is the year date on most I have seen. Is the adjusting screw on the front or the bottom of the sight? Big Larry
