Hello all. I am trying to identify the maker of the rear sights on my SA Garand. The rifle was made during the summer of 1944 and has the locking bar type. I'm trying to get all Springfield parts on it and just trying to figure out if the sights are. Thank you
Got pics? That would help.
Most rifles still were using the second type lock bar by mid 1944
the stamped trigger guard was also being used but so was the milled trigger guradAttachment 74307
I think he's asking if his parts are made by a specific manufacturer?
Thanks guys. My rifle appears to have the Type 2 sights. What I would like to know is if there is a way to tell which manufacturer (Springfield, WRA, etc) made them. I will take pics when I get home later on today
Generally Winchester has an open arrow head and Springfield a closed arrow head. Very early Springfield used an open arrow head I believe.

late knurled knobs with open arrows should be Winchester
Great information, that's just what I was looking for. Thank you!!
