When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!

Jim,
Thanks, at least I know who made it. Is it likely a replacement part or did they supply to IBM early in their production.

Scott,
I thought Prestole Div. Detroit Harvester Co. was marked PO-B?

Thanks for all the info guys! Not complaining, but I got three answers - at least I know its not too common. This is on the boltless I just got. Not really worried about it since the carbine is a mixmaster and past the point of rebuilding. Going to make a great shooter. Well worth the money - there is no way this was a rack grade. MW was a solid 2, original finish and zero rust. Thinking about ordering another one before they are gone. Have to finish the stock, post pics (I know, I know - but she's still nekid) and then go shoot it!
The front site post measures .310" - the exact same as two other front sights of carbines which shoot dead on at 100 yard. So I will just have to shoot this carbine to find out if this front sight needs replacement.
Any excuse to shoot a carbine is a good excuse.....
