I posted this in the rifle section first then noticed this section. Sorry. Does anyone know the proper front sight height for a model 1894 in .25-35. Thanks. RRM

It makes a difference if its a carbine or rifle.

Winchester 21C .381 High is standard, according to The Sight Book, if I am reading it correct. There are several different heights listed according to barrel type.

There are conflicting sight heights I find and some places say you can use a taller sight if you need too. I would start with a the .381 and see how it shoots.

The taller the front sight the lower it will shoot.

Sorry fell’as for the confusion and double post. I was not thinking when I first posted the question about the height of the front sight and should have mentioned it is a rifle. Then this morning when I saw my mistake I inadvertently posted it again with the word “rifle” wanting to get the question back to you guys and was running late for work. Well here you go,, Winchester Model 1894 by the numbers made in 1907. 26″ octagon barrel, crescent butt plate, full magazine. Barrel measures right around eleven sixteenth of an inch across the flats at the muzzle. Chambered for the .25-35 cartridge. Thanks for the heads up on the front sight you guys have already mentioned. Now would anyone have one they would consider selling? I guess I will just have to start watching E- Bay. Thanks again.
