Mystery rear sight - HELP?

[emmagee1917]

Yes , that part has to be removed to allow the scope to mount .
My M18 has a scope on it now and I can't recall where I stashed the leaf part to compare !

Ahhh..... well, there is my problem right there!

I had no idea that leaf fit's into that huge sight block. The #4 picture in the link you posted makes that much clearer. The other pictures I had Googled up didn't have any clear views of the sight block at all, and I had assumed it was all one very large elaborate sighting device.

Thank you Chris, for providing the detailed information.

I'm just a small arms collector myself, so not knowing what this sight was made for was driving me nuts. I'm still learning new things every day and hitting road blocks like this just makes me more determined to find the answer. Thankfully, now I'll be able to sleep again.

Best regards,
