1966 Model 94 Rear Dovetail Sight Replacement

[TigerCreek]

I recently picked up a post '64 Model 94 30-30.
The front sight was in bad shape and I replaced it with a Marble Arms glow sight. No problems.
I tried to replace the rear dovetail sight with a Marble Arms bullseye sight and the dovetail is too large to fit.
It measured out to .375 which is the correct size, but the size of the original dovetail rear sight measured out to .360.
I was under the impression that they were all .375?
I realize I have other rear sight options but I was curious if this is a common problem.

Yet!

Remove metal from the bottom of the new sight male dovetail until it will fit the barrel female dovetail.

Thank you. I will give that a try.

Worked.
My only complaint is that the fitted rear sight is not perfectly parallel/perpendicular to the barrel after tapping it in.
Bottom line - I now have a good clean sight picture and was spot on 100yds after 3 adjustments.
