Title: Confessions of a Sight Junkie
Post by butlersrangers on Oct 4th, 2019 at 6:37am
A package arrived today containing a recent Ebay purchase.

It contained a complete model 1902 carbine-sight, with a crude homemade eye-piece 'add on', and an extra leaf, with an altered sight-"V" notch.

I made the purchase (at a reasonable price) to get the very nice model 1902 carbine base, (only 1,000 sights made), and the Slide with an 'un-slotted' Knob.

I had some spare parts, that allowed me to assemble a proper model 1902 carbine sight variation: with 'Sgt. Peep', a slotted-knob, and Fine Slide-Serrations.

(I already had a 1902 carbine-sight variation without 'Sgt. Peep', course leaf serrations, and a '1903' slotted-knob.

I now have two variations of this rare sight and figure, with all the possible part variations that could occur, there are something like 75 part combinations!

Attached pictures show my purchase, part details, and the assembled sight next to my other 1902 carbine-sight.

Woohoo! Just 73 variations to go!  :o
