Talked with another WW2 vet today. He was a Marine in the Pacific. His first battle was Feb 1944 at the Enewetok Atoll islands. He said his issued carbine was one with the adjustable rear sights. My dad was also at this battle and he too said his carbine was issued with adjustable rear sights. I know the books say this is too early but one of these two men was my dad. I know that he knew what type sight was on his carbine....now I have another man that was there and he is saying his carbine had the early adjustable sight too.No matter what the books say I will always believe some of the carbines back then were issued with the adjustable rear sight.I think I will believe the people that were there over the books.
