I have a Win.94 Antique model.What peep sight should I use..d

You can use a Lyman or Williams rear sight. You can also mount a tang sight. I suppose it would depend on which kind you prefer.

I have an early 80's win 94AE, would I use the lyman or williams rear sight as well?

Williams makes a receiver sight for the 94AE. It is different from the one for earlier models and Marlins. The AE one mounts to the rear scope base tapped holes.

Williams also makes a ghost ring sight that fits in the rear dovetail that works well.

Williams Foolproof.

Oh get a tang sight, nostalgic.

The tang option would also extend ones sight plain which is a very good thing. For intance, my Sharps has a 37 inch sight plain with its tang sight. Had I gone with a buckhorn barrel mount, it would be about half of that.

We all used the Williams on our 94s and 336s you could buy them in most gun shops, so we used them and they worked great!!

Go to www.skinnersights.com and see if they might make you happy. They look good and are quite functional.

Got a 5D on mine

A good sight!

A nice older steel Lyman 66 would look good too.

I've used both Williams and Lyman receiver sights on a wide variety of rifles and found them to be all good. But for personal aesthetic reasons I too would opt for the steel Lyman 66, especially on a lever gun made before the 50's.

The Lymans do have a nicer appearance.

And, I had considered the Target knobs for my FP, but after looking at one.....nahhh.

I would add that the Lyman 56 is The Classic receiver sight of all time. I have several Williams on a couple of Marlin 1894's in .357 and they are excellent sights. I also like the Ashley XS sights originally developed by Ashley Emerson now known as XS Sight Systems. These are more modern but are really good.

So I had this old Redfield # 70 (I believe) receiver sight for a 94 just laying around. Needed a rifle underneath it. So I picked up this '53 vintage carbine today for a good price. Some dolt had spilt coke on the right side of the receiver. Otherwise the mechanics and bore are clean and sound. The old rear sight insert was mangled for some reason too. I figgered it a good candidate for my sight!

Voila!!! New south Texas pick up rifle!

Heres a better photo of the sight. This side of the receiver faired a bit better that the other side did!

You figured right, that Redfield looks like it means business on that 94. You are lucky you can see to shoot the irons, I have to use a fiberoptic on the front sight.

Thanks compadre! Yeah that front sight jumps out like a new dime in a goats butt! Points really nice. See it real good. I need serious range time need to shoot this new one. As well as another 94 and my 64. All have peeps!
