Perfect!

Slides on with perfect tension. Also looks very good.

Sight Hood

This sight hood has good fit and finish. It allows me to shoot my carbines with out optics as it aids in providing a good sight picture. Additionally, it provides protection for my front sights and adds a novel flare to the look of my guns without a big expense at a gunsmith shop!

Not bad

These appear to be hot rolled steel and therefore are a little scaly and not very smooth. I put them on a belt sander and ground the blunt end to a angle so both ends look the same then sanded with 400 grit sandpaper,warmed,and dipped in oxpho-blue then burnished with fine steelwool. They look good enough to be original.

Too small

This product is too small for the post 64 1894 , it just barely fits over the sight .its half the size of the original sight .

Just Don't

This hood looks like it came out of the bottom of a used parts box. You can plan on spending time making it look decent. It is also a very tight fit on the ramp: hammer time. This is the first time I've given a Brownells' product a bad review. Find a used hood instead.

Disappointing

This hood does indeed fit pre '64 model 94 Winchester carbine ramp grooves,and Brownell's does provide the Galazan specs.online. Original hoods are longer ,but the problem is the Galazan .5 inch ht. vs. the original hoods ht. of approx. .565 inch . If the ramp has a front dovetail sight taller than say .270 the bead has less than desirable clearance from the Galazan hoods "ceiling". This too short product fails to allow a good sight picture w/many factory installed Winchester front sights. Now the shooter may have to re zero after installing a shorter front $ight.
