It is my understanding that these guns were sold with either the bolt-mounted peep sight or the receiver-mounted sight as factory equipment. Maybe it was an option, or maybe I entirely misremember, but there should be a "correct" make and model for that particular rifle.
I guess my point was that the gun should be drilled and tapped for one or the other type of sight.

I believe that the factory side mounted peep sight was a Lyman 56. Most of the DELUXE models I see have this option. I do not believe that the bolt mounted peep was stable and Winchester may have changed to the side mount unit partway through production. Just a guess.

C:
I don't know if this information is still good, but try checking with Ken Bean; they call him the "Sight Man". His company's name is "Sights and Antique Guns." He is located at: 383 Yorkana Road, York, PA 17406, (717) 755-9070.
He always had peep sights for the various Winchester lever actions when I was still running into him at gun shows. (I don't go to them anymore, as the things I'm interested in almost never turn up at the local shows).

I did have a question about an 1894 Winchester.
Amazing what a good night's rest will do.
I believe I'm going to pass on the one the local gun store has and wait for one to come along in better, more original condition.
Yall have a great Sunday.

I was at the shop today to do the California required BS paperwork. Turns out the gun comes with 400 rounds of ammo loaded with 57 grains of Reloader 22 and 220 grain Barnes bullets (flat tip). The brass is all WW Super and looks new or once fired.
Also have the apeture for the Lyman 56 rear sight, original dovetailed, adjustable notch sight, and hood for the front ramp. Also 2 sets of original detachable sling swivels - - one set 1-1/4" wide and one set about an inch wide. Considering the conditon, extra ammo and accessories, I think I did pretty well on this deal.
