I got my CC news letter this afternoon and it is my favorite one to date as I have several original or near original carbines from this serial number block. This is the rear sight on my M1A1icon. The color looks kind of funky because of the camera flash and being under bad lighting. I believe it to be one of the rear sights that was staked in place before parking due to the stake marks being parked and the numbers being parked except the 2 which is under a shadow where the peep was during finishing. You can faintly see the shadow line in the top pic.
My question is the article talked about this type of staking on the milled sights but not the stamped. Is mine a anomaly or was this a normal staking on the stamped sight that was missed in the article?
