I have a nice Winchester 94 with 26" barrel made in 1899 in 30 WCF. I noticed that the dovetails for both sights are very slightly out of level. However the extractor groove lines up perfectly, the rifle shows no signs of any head space, and the barrel address looks to be at the correct height above the for arm. Any ideas?? Is there a fix for this or is it a concern. I was told that occasionally the factory did make some small boo boos that they would let go if the were not serious. Anyway looking for some input. Thanks

  I'll bet that the barrel is slightly out of index. I very much doubt that the machining of the barrel was not correct.
