M1 with a peep?

[A. F Medic]

Looking at an local auction that has been posting images of fireams for sale at the end of the month. In there is an M1 with a rear peep sight! Ever see anything like that?

Every time I take my M1 out of the safe.



BTW, National Match M1s sometimes had a "hooded" peep sight.

I have a feeling there's something missing in translation here...

Sorry. This peep sight is screwed into the rear sight and stands out fom it. It looks like the front sight has been changed also. The internet image is not too clear on that one. I can post the local gun auction with images if you would like

Here is the web page. Second row center for the M1. I have no personal interests in this auction.

I knew we were missing something...that looks like an NM hood with an aperture screwed into it...

[A. F Medic]

Then I should look for NM on parts of the rifle before I volunteer money at the end of the month?

I think it went something like this:

Take a bog-standard Garand backsight, (or an NM, for the luxury version) a piece of tubing,
and a Parker-Hale 6-hole aperture
Attachment 45126

Glue together
Attachment 45127

Hey presto! The variable aperture Garand NM-Not! backsight.
