Description
US Surplus M1 Garand Rear Sight Assembly – Complete Parkerized Steel Unit
This M1 Garand rear sight complete assembly is an original U.S. surplus part set made of steel with a parkerized finish. It includes the full rear sight unit and suits restoration work, replacement needs, and period-correct Garand builds. Because original M1 rear sights changed over time, makers, production years, and windage knob styles can vary across surviving assemblies.
M1 Garand rear sight complete for restoration
The Garand used a low-profile rear sight with side knobs for windage and elevation rather than the folding ladder sights seen on earlier U.S. service rifles. That design gave the rifle a compact and durable sighting system, which is one reason original assemblies remain desirable with collectors and restorers today.
This listing offers a complete surplus rear sight assembly rather than loose individual parts. As a result, it gives buyers a practical option for restoring a rifle, replacing a worn unit, or keeping original components on hand for future work.
Original M1 Garand rear sight variations
Original M1 rear sight parts were produced in several forms over the rifle’s service life. American Rifleman notes examples ranging from early flush-nut and locking-bar styles to later T105E1 assemblies, and CMP parts listings likewise separate wartime and postwar configurations. Therefore, variation in maker, year, and windage knob style is normal for authentic surplus assemblies.
Because of that, the exact assembly you receive may show small production differences in machining, markings, or knob pattern. However, those differences are part of what makes original U.S. surplus Garand parts appealing in the first place.
Condition and finish
These assemblies are steel constructed and parkerized, giving them the correct military character for an original service part. Since they come from surplus production, finish tone, wear level, and manufacturer details may vary from one example to another. Even so, each remains an authentic rear sight assembly with real collector and restoration value.
