I recently got an M1 Carbine and wondered what people could tell me about it!

CT241,
Here's some pictures of a WRA Frt Sight, they were made by Lyman.
Most have what many call a Fingernail Milling Pattern behind the Sight Blade.
Best way to tell, is the shape of the outer ears.

Lyman made sights have longer sloping profile on the back edge of the outer ear.

HTH,

Davidson marks are really small. When Bruce says they look like a scratch, he's not kidding

I'm only a hour away from Davidsons.
Have seen their Import mark just above the Op Slide Groove, often on the Right side. Between Chamber and Piston. Easily covered with the stock on.

Sorry Bob,
My mistake.
Had Davidson, MI on my mind.
Had just been up there at Williams Gun Sight.

Though..... Arizona sounds nice, compared to currently looking out the window.
