Does anyone have any information on a front sight for the Winchester 94 that has three posts, and can be rotated so as to select a gold bead, an ivory bead, or a black bead. The rifle also has the Winchester Smokelss rear sight for the 32 W. S.

    HI All. No reply yet, but for those that may be interested I did go to google, and under King's triple bead sight I found a 22 that was auctioned in 1996, and a Win 95 in 405 that sold in 2003 with this sight on it. Google really works.

    himko,
    Yes, Google is a good search engine.
    King's and Redfield both manufactured the front sight that you have described. King referred to their front sight as the:
    King Patent Triple Bead Front Sight. Redfield-Western Triple Bead Front Sight. Now you must guess which one you have[:)]

    Hello himiko...

    The sight you are referring to that was used by Winchester is the King No. 1 or No. 2 Triple Bead. I have seen them on a number of different Winchester rifles that were manufactured from circa 1914 - 1950. The correct application code for a Model 1894/94 (stamped on the underside of the dovetail base) is a "B". Typical value for one of them is $50 - $80 depending upon the condition.
