I received the Skinner rail. It was sent from the US and got here quickly. Model 92 levers are meant to be light, easy to carry and shoulder. I wasn't too concerned about the sight getting in the way because I had already done this with my 30-30. Here are some pictures of everything installed. The four holes for the mount are under the rear sight. That had to be removed and takes a minute to do. If you do this, put the rear sight in a baggie, label it and keep it where it won't get lost! The sight only fits one way. Make sure it is correctly oriented so that the rail is flat. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/edaCfnm.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/2PGzXz6.jpg) The sight mounts on the rail with two Allen screws. This only takes a couple of minutes. The sight does not get in the way when carrying the rifle. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/rbzESgp.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/otRc12a.jpg) The pic is blurry, but shows the sight installed. It is sighted in the same way as a scope. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/40a7sl4.jpg)

I’ve got the 16” version in .44 mag, stainless. I tried to do that but didn’t like the outcome. I bought one of the peep sights that replaces the safety and fiber optic front. It’s a handy little gun! I believe Steve’s Gunz or some such was where I got it all at

I put a Skinner barrel mount aperture on my M92, but it's a Winchester.

It’s a handy little gun! I believe Steve’s Gunz or some such was where I got it all at Those Skinner peep sights are a great solution to junky OEM sights. I had one on my 464 for a few years. The only reason I swapped it out with another sight was I had difficulties with the sight picture. It was hard for me to use in the trees near the farms I hunted. It was dark and I had acquisition problems. I needed a larger aperture.  I put a Skinner barrel mount aperture on my M92, but it's a Winchester. I like that we have more sight options. Firearms manufacturers realized a long time ago that many people just didn't use the junky sights they put on their rifles. I am not sure of everyone's ages, but in the dim times virtually every rifle, regardless of action type, was sold with some form of rudimentary iron sight. I guess the bean counters realized that they could save .50 cents per unit by eliminating them. For levers, I have to say that Rossi providing mounting holes under their rear sight was a great idea! ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/edaCfnm.jpg)

Andy is good people, his company makes some great stuff. I had one of his peep sites on my Marlin 1894 chambered in .44 Mag. Loved it, my son talked me out of that rifle though. I plan to add them to both my Win 94 30/30 and Henry .22 though. I also have a few other ideas rattling around my brain..... Jeff

I have a M92 in 44 Mag, and had a Williams peep sight installed. It has a larger aperture and works well at woods ranges.

I have been looking at a few updates to it for a year or so. Fun little .22. I'll post up the results when I get it done for sure. Jeff

What fresh Hell is this?
