1942 Winchster M1 Carbine

[INLAND44]

The serial number on the stock is a trait of carbines that resided in Israel for a spell. The import mark on your carbine probably has been removed before the refinish. Somebody put a new front sight on it without sighting it in. You can file down the front sight until you get about 1" over POA at 25 yds. You never use the rear sight to adjust elevation for sighting in - only to shoot at the distances indicated on it.

Technically yes, but if that's all it takes to make it hit where you want it to, it's a lot easier than filing the front sight. I've got an S'G' with a new front sight on it, and have just left the rear sight set at 200 yards. - Bob
