    I can tell you I've never seen a loose one or one on any carbine, but:
    In CCNL #32 June 1979,
    The one that JB Powers searched thru the bushel of front sights a few TS'G' front sights were found. I believe they were made by Taylor Freezer Co in Wisconsin IIRC.
    Below copied and pasted from the link at the bottom of this post.

    When looking at the Front Sight Data Chart in CCNL 32-6 (page 6) J.B. Powers had reported that from the Bushel were the following Sights with numbers stamped on the left:

    "Total Of" 3 Sights with N-S'G' stamped on top beside the sight blade with the numbers 2 or 3 on the outer left side.
    "Total Of" 4 Sights with T'S'G' stamped on the Front with the numbers not noted, but located on the outer left side.
    "Total Of" 12 Sights with IPN stamped on the Top with the numbers 2, 4, 5, 7 located on the outer left side.
    "Total Of" 4 Sights with NI stamped on top beside the sight blade with the numbers 5 and 6 on the outer left side.
    Total Not Noted- N stamped on top with variations in rotation, with numbers 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 on the outer left side.
    Unmarked- Reported with numbers 00, 2, 4 on the outer left side.
    One- RP stamped on the front with the number 4 on the outer left side.

    Note: There are 2 sizes of the numbers mentioned- Small and Large. Used on IPN and the N marked sights. Not clear which size numbers were found on the NI, RP and Unmarked sights.
    Also know that not all were always number stamped.
