I'm hoping someone can answer a question I have about the introduction date of the Type II lockbar sights on SA weapons. I have a 8-42 barrel dated Garandicon on layaway at a local pawn shop. Serial number is 8258XX and as I mentioned in the big 5 thread, it appears all correct aside from a SA/GAW stock. This piece has Type II lockbar sights that appear original to the weapon and given that all the other parts are the original, un-modified correct early parts that match the Duff data sheet for this period, I'm thinking they are also original issue to this piece. Anybody know for sure when the Type II's started being installed?

Thanks in advance for any help or info,
Mike
