Description
Original US Surplus M1 Garand Rear Sight Lock Bar
This M1 Garand rear sight lock bar is an original U.S. surplus part for the early lock bar sight system used on wartime rifles. It suits collectors, restorers, and anyone trying to keep a period-correct rear sight assembly together. Moreover, examples can vary by finish, maker, and year of manufacture, which is normal for authentic surplus parts. Early Garand rear sights went through several lock bar variations during WWII production, including Type II and Type III forms.
M1 Garand rear sight lock bar
The lock bar is a small part, but it matters to the character of an early Garand rear sight. It helped secure the sight setting and became a recognizable feature of wartime assemblies. Because of that, original lock bar parts remain desirable for restoring early rifles and for replacing missing or mismatched components. The wartime design was later simplified, so correct lock bar parts are especially useful when a collector wants an earlier configuration.
Original Garand lock bar details
This listing is for an original U.S. surplus example rather than a modern reproduction. Finishes can vary, and maker details may also differ from part to part. In addition, production-year variation is expected with genuine surplus sight components. Springfield lock bar sights evolved during 1943 to mid-1944, with the Type III following the Type II as machining changed over time.
Correct part for collector restorations
Small sight parts often make a visible difference in a restoration. Therefore, an original lock bar can help preserve the correct look and function of an early rear sight setup. It also gives buyers a real U.S. service component instead of a newly made substitute. For collectors focused on WWII-era Garands, that originality adds value beyond simple utility.
