I have a williams on my mod 94. I didnt have to change the front sight. Install your sight and give it a try. You should be good to go.

Most of the time you don't need to change it. But I have owned one model 94 in the past that required a taller front post. At the time I was shooting some fairly hot handloads, and with factory loads I would likely have been fine with the original bead.

my only concern was someone on here said that it would be better to have a straight front post to avoid the point of impact changing due to differing light conditions....does this make sense......

For hunting at close range, the difference dosn't amount to a hill of beans IMO.
However, it's simple enough, just try it with the original sight first. Don't like it? Just change. It's not a big operation.

way back when i was looking at my old numrich catalogue and there were some 20-25 various front sights for the 94, all different heights and styles, incuding a couple of globe types- must be for those folks that can't "regulate" with a file
