Maybe farm boys used to a bolt action???

Another 'Hayseed ' joke Jim ?
I've been keeping track.....

I believe I may have seen this in one of the videos in the stickys on shooting the carbine, but not sure. I do remember either reading or seeing it though, because my next trip out I was trying it, and didn't care for it.
Maybe it's because of all the country boys that we find the front sights' outer ears cut away along with the rear peeps cut to a V shape.
But if Uncle Sam was really trying to keep these familiar for the country boys, they'd of just had 1 round.
And doubled parked the front sight blade to repel rust from being wiped with a wet thumb to knock the glare down.

Rear sight needs to be flipped around

Sorta looks that way Bruce, but hard to tell the way the rifle is tilted over toward the camera.
