Front sight for modern Win 1894 that doesn't need fitting

[Devlin]

Have any of you come across a front sight for a Mirokou made 1894 ? Looking for something taller than the factory sight that comes with it which would slide right into the existing dove tail without fitting/filing it to get it to fit.

Is there such an animal or does everything require some amount of fitting to work ?

Most sights will take a bit of fitting. I've installed tones of both front and rear dovetail sights and all but one needed fitting to one degree or another

A very inexpensive 3-corner fine file and a vise is all the tooling needed to fit a dovetail...and a few minutes.
