Home Forums Lever Action Central Big Bore Levers Help needed - Browning B92 sights

Found a Browning B-92 in .44 Mag, but someone has replaced the factory sights. If one of you has a B-92 in its original configuration, would you be so kind as to post a clear photo of the sights?

I've tried Numrich but they don't show a schematic for this carbine.

A previous owner replaced the blade front sight with a gold shotgun bead. I think that these originally had a blade front sight mounted on some sort of a square metal block rather than the usual arrangement of mounted on the barrel band or dovetailed into the barrel. I need to know how these are supposed to be set up.

Also, someone replaced the rear sight. I know that they came from the factory with a semi-buckhorn sight. Would like to know whether anyone knows the proper dovetail size for a replacement. This new arrangement is very difficult to see unless the lighting is just right.

Thanks!

This should help. B92 .357

Thanks, Woods_walker, that helps a lot. Boy he really dorked this thing up. Am I correct in thinking that the front sight arrangement for the .357 mag is the same for the .44 mag?

Same set up. If I remember from the .44's I've owned there was a dimensional difference. If you try to replicate the front sight go a tad higher than the original .44. You can always file it down but cannot add.

That looks like a Savage 99 sight from the 50's.
