Folding rear leaf for M94AE Winchester

Can someone give me the part# for a Williams (preferred) or Marble folding rear-leaf that will fit easily into this dovetail and be the correct height?

Bought the rifle this way. Has the Lyman folding tang sight but want both.

Thank you kindly in advance.

What's a 94T? I can't find any reference to it, one of the Miroku guns?

I got that wrong. It is called Timber carbine but it is Model 94AE.

Just go to Brownells site and buy one; search for folding sight. No part number needed.

Hi Tom,
Don’t they come in different heights? I tried ordering one before for another rifle and I had to go through a couple before I found the right height that would adjust to zero. And I have had an experience where the dovetail of the sight was too big to fit into the milled dovetail receiver slot.

Yes, measure the height of your front sight to the center of the bore. Measurements of rear sights are from the bottom of the DT. Measure yours, and then you will know how tall the rear needs to be. Measure everything from the center of the bore. Then subtract.
As for dovetails, they never fit as they come; they are always made big and have to be fitted.
