That's the way I see it. It makes perfect sense unless it was a field change-out which may be possible? Every part on this rifle looks like they have been together since birth. Regards, Rick.Quote:

Probably faster sighting then with a peep too

I still think it could be a little early for the straight hammer on this gun. Saying that doesn't mean it's not possible though. If you think, Saginaw started putting it's carbines together in May of 43. The straight hammer was more in late much later in 43. It's still a very nice carbine though no matter what. I wouldn't at all mind having it.
