M1 Front Sight

**imntxs554** · 01-28-2015 09:38 PM

I have this Front Sight that came into question and I couldn't find anything in the Books or the Internet and this or other Forums about finding out who manufactured this Sight. I have a Niedner Front sight with the N marked on it, but doesn't look like this one. This Sight shows a N, but this Signt looks like it was cut off on the right side of the letter. There is also 2 channels outside of the letter. Would anyone have information on this. Thanks

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

It's a Niedner sight. I saw those grooves on many of the Italian icon

Thanks Newscotlander some modification from the other N marked Front Signts from Niedner. I'm going to have to get a copy of that Newsletter. Thank You

Its not a modification, just a manufacturing variance like the so called "thumbnail" Winchester (Lyman) front sights.

Another example from S'G' 1,823,135
