    The top numbers remind me of something Bavarian or from an European ( look at the font ) arsenal of some type, but that is such a WAG that I'm expecting to be wrong. I know some Bavarian carbines I've seen have a sight sitting on top of the front receiver ring, but it looks nothing like the OP's sight.

    Yes, the elevation numbers on top of the sight. Like I said the rear sight seen on top of the front receiver ring of some carbines look nothing like yours so I doubt it would be of any help to you.

    That's a Rock Ola front sight.

    Looks like Grandpa also 'Pimped Out' the front sight blade.
    Now all it needs is a set of curb feelers, some hanging fuzzy dice and maybe some Neon under carriage lights.....

    Grandpa wasn't a Cartel member was he ??

    Be interesting to see inside.

    Nice TenOC,
    Would you mind to share some pics from this M1icon pls
