Congrats on your new aacquisition

If you can get a Providence Tool company #21 reproduction (feom Buffalo arms?), it should go right on where the old hole was drilled and be the proper 11-36 thread. And the front sight screw should go right in the finger lever retaining pin hole up at the front end of the receiver. If is already as a high front sight installed you should be good to go.

I e mounted several years f these new sights on original 95’s and Brownings. With the new sight you will need that higher front blade.

I have pics posted of one I mounted on my Browning posted in a thread below around pages 12-15 titled "Winchester 1895 (New pic) "

With a bit of running commentary on installation. I do like this sight.

Good luck with whatever sight your choose

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
