Sighting Problems on a late Inland

[USGI]

There it is. I can't believe the discussion continues as if the question were not answered.

The actual question was not how to sight in a carbine, but how this carbine escaped getting sighted in. The sight doesn't appear to be a recent addition. I'll check the blade height, but it does appear to be close to "new" dimensions. It's not exactly what I would call a new sight, though! - Bob

how this carbine escaped getting sighted in.

I think the suggestion of it having a flip sight originally and then the adjustable one being fitted makes most sense. That would account for it. Why it wasn't re-patterned, well if it was fitted after the military, then that would do it. There's no way to tell if it was civilian fitted. At this age, it's just guessing...

Oops. Okay, I'd say it had the 'wrong' sight on it after the rebuild and somebody 'corrected' it but didn't bother to sight it in. Yes, I agree, its not really a 'new' sight because they have really high, pointed blades. This one has been adjusted but just not for the rifle its on now.

That's OK about the oops! After all, this thread actually started off in a different one and continued on here. Question: Why would they have pulled the sight during rebuild? Possibly may have been damaged in some way? Thanks! - Bob
