Going through accumulation found these sights for Winchester rifles? 94,71,70? Was hoping some of the sharp eyes here could identify them and what models they fit?

Thanks Chris

The majority of those sights are Winchester 22G, the one a little different on the front is probably a Winchester 22J or K depending on it's height. The shorter elevators with the grooved button are Winchester 3C, the longer elevators with the grooved button are Winchester 1C or similar number, again depending on their height. I can't recall the plain elevator' number.

The 22G was used on Winchester model 43, 70, and 94 as a minimum. Not sure if on the 54 and 71. The 22k was used on the Win 70 after the 22G in the later 1950's. The front of the 22k I thought looked just like the 22G, again the height being the determining factor. I am not 100% sure but think the 22G and K came in both flat top and buckhorn styles.

The sight on top in the first pic looks like a Flat Top Sporting Sight that was used on the early M1894’s. Couple different variations, the early ones had serrations on the side. Very desirable

Looks like 3 of the post-war tall version 22K’s (pre-war 22k’s had a double scallop) and 1 22G.
The 4 short elevators are pre-64, 4 step 3G’s (post-64 3G’s had 7 steps).
The 3 longer elevators are Type 1.
Flat elevator, no idea.
First pic, bottom sight looks to be re-blued.

I was wrong in calling that a Flat Top Sporting Sight as I just checked Madis and it doesn’t appear that it’s even a Winchester sight. Sorry, my mistake.
