My Carbine with flip sights.

You don't see them all that often but every time I hear someone mention their Carbine having 'flip sights' I always think of this one. It's good stuff.

For Windage ?

Wow! Look at the difference in the aperture size. Which one has the better sight picture? Also, the 300 yard leaf on the right looks a little shorter. Maybe it's for carbines that shoot a little high.

They're just drifted right a little bit to split the accuracy. I love a Carbine with flip sights.

At least you don'r see any stake marks.

I believe these were used by REMF's. Never knew when they'd have to scare away a dog after having had a snoot full.

It's for a two headed kid...

Maybe useful for those who shoot with both eyes open.
My Father shot that way. Just made me feel crossed eyed and a little dizzy.

I know what REMF's means but also heard it referred to as Rear Entry M F ers by a Vietnam vet I worked with who was a mailman over there. Part of The Walking Dead, which I believe was 1st Battalion, 9th Marine Reg, 2nd Marine Div (?). He said everyone liked the Mailman! And was happy to have that job after his first year seeing heavy action. His favorite memory was in Bang Cock as he spelled it. Upon R&R return, off for the needed shots. Just seen him yesterday, many tough memories of friends being killed by 'friendly villagers'.

Yup! for a cross-eyed shooter who shot with both eyes open!

Could have used that on the farm the other day. Bessie gave birth to a two headed calf.
