M1 CARBINE OPINIONS/EXPERTISE NEEDED

[Bruce McAskill]

That is all these carbines are. Standard carbines that have been through rebuilds in Germany and or Austria. The addition of the sight to the receiver/barrel area is not uncommon but most of the time the rear sight was removed and the dove tail was milled down with just some cross markings to help reduce glare. It does seem this one has some of that done on it but the dove tail was not milled all the way down and enough is still present so someone could add the rear sight to it again. Best of both worlds I guess.

I thought so...thought they were usually milled down.
