I usually prefer 6 o'clock holds, but I might have ground the sight for a center hold). It may have also been with the lighting and poor contrast on the target (overcast and late in the day) that I was holding more at 6 o'clock and I need a center hold (I can't remember. Just need to figure out if it is closer to zeroed at 100 or 150 (for 100yds). It still groups well (2.5-3" groups at 100) and I could still hit a bowling pin at 100 first round out. Either way, I can live with that kind of accuracy. This rear sight assembly can be installed on an M1. I need to take it out another time or two, see if it was the lighting messing with me, the difference in lots/ammo brands or what. The M14 Rear Sight Assembly is a complete solution for upgrading or replacing your existing rear sight. Last time it was shooting about 4" low at 100 and set at 150 it was about 2" high. Though I've only gotten it to the range twice since I did all that. I replaced with NOS and ground it down till it was zeroed with PPU FMJ at 100. Careful with and around peened spots, there are Carbines out there with chunks of dovetail broken off.

I replaced it with a repro kesight, but the front blade was ground REALLY far down. Mine the original rear was lost to the vagaries of time and a piece of rail was sitting there. I typically put a drop of Blue Locktite under dovetail-mounted sights on my milsurps, I assume that would be OK in this case as well.Granted I only own one, but I don't need no stinking special tools to take off a front sight! A small block of wood, a ball peen hammer, painters tape and a brass drift is all you need! Second, if I do so, is it just a matter of drifting it left using a brass punch (carefully)? I have read the section of the M1 technical manual on the rear sight and I cannot find anything other than this method (of course there is the sight tool made for this purpose, but obviously I don't have one of those). I would think that I should center the assembly a bit so that the aperture could be adjusted to correct the windage.įirst, am I correct that I should move the assembly left-ward in the dovetail? I have cranked the adjustable aperture all the way over to the left, and in this position the rifle still is a bit right-of-center 100 yards. About 1/8-inch of the assembly actually hangs out over the right edge of the base. Issue: my M1 carbine (1943 Quality Hardware) has a rear sight assembly that is set very very far to the right in the dovetail base. Have looked over the threads I could find on this general topic, but still have a few questions. Here is what you need to know to have a coherent M1 at a given date.
