NO, not to me
Ditto, not to me either. Looks like he whizzed on it and buried it in the garden for a while and kept whizzing on it. He then cleaned it up and put the ridiculous price of $125.00 on it. Scandalous!
Repro
Not to me.
Not even a good fake.
Thanks guys, looks like we have a unanimous consensus!
As someone that is not really experienced in m1 carbines, let-alone spotting fake parts, what led you to the assumption that is is a repro? Im not intening to question your judgement, just curious.
If you have an original sight then compare it to the one in the picture and it doesn't matter which maker it was made for. If you don't have an origianl sight then try and find photos of origanl rear sights and compare them and you will see the big differences.
Pretty beat up, but it sure looks like an original.
The pic in the OP looks like a cast one. The mill marks on the bottom don't fit the other surface finishes. I agree with the majority on this one. Bad fake !
