I've never seen a post-64 M94 Standard Carbine with a front sight blade that wasn't in a dovetail - all are AFAIK mounted in either a sight ramp dovetail, or directly in a barrel dovetail.

OTOH, many Model 92's, like gennie Winchester Model 1892's & the recent Browning/Miroku's, are pinned to a square post that's soldered to the bbl.

I'd recommend a fiber-optic front sight like the Williams FireSight as solution to your sighting issue.

The rear bbl iron/open sight can also benefit from a replacment FO sight which typically has a FO dot on each side of the sighting notch; or remove it entirely & install a receiver peep sight.
