Why is rear sight worth $500?
Guys,I have been in this awhile and I havent seen the prices you are talking about for years.
I will take every all Correct 1941 Garand for $1500 you want to sell
AFMEDIC
The flush nut sight was replaced by the type 1 lockbar, then type 2 & 3. As the flush nut sights were replaced during overhaul they were scrapped. Why save a superseeded part?
They are hard to find because of this so, supply & demand.

Been awhile since I posted pictures. My 41 lend lease and my 42. The 41 is almost identical to the one in the semi recent GCA mag (both pics and parts.

Looks great. Makes me want to take mine out for a look again...matter of fact I will.
DaveN, thanks for posting pics, nice Garands
Great rifle! Good luck with it! I notice the front sight has a plug over the set screw. Am I correct that this is a lead plug and that not many Garand's today still have that plug in them? If so, to me, that makes the rifle even more interesting. Not sure if that is an urban legend....
Yes, the front sight screw seal was about number 2 of the changes...the round firing pin being probably the first...there aren't many of either left. I have them though.
