Posted: 1/26/2009 8:35:12 AM EDT

The alternate rear sights were the milled or stamped fully adjustable rear sights.
These were introduced late in the war, and most Carbines were retro-fitted with them later during repairs or in a formal rebuild program.

While a 1943 would be more collector desirable with an original "L" type flip sight, most Carbines were fitted with the later sights so it's still "original" USGI.
