lambo35 Posted February 16, 2016 Share #26 Posted February 16, 2016 A view [pic] of the rear sight staking is also a good reference tool. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirt Detective Posted February 16, 2016 Share #27 Posted February 16, 2016 here is my rear sight on a Standard Products carbine 43 dated. Great pic Ronald..your post gave me the energy to go to my safe and take a smaller pic of my Inland 1-43 sight.. A little different but original all the way...

anton67 Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share #28 Posted February 16, 2016 I am at work right now but here is a site from the internet that I believe looks like my site. I will take pics of my site tonight if I get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anton67 Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share #29 Posted February 16, 2016 Maybe you can show us a few fakes vs authentic rear sites to give us collectors an idea what to look for. It seems to me that the rear sites are the most faked problem. Unscrupulous dealers are taking the updated sites off and replacing them with flip sites so they can sell the rifle as an original WWII era M1 Carbine (for lots more money).

sundance Posted February 16, 2016 Share #30 Posted February 16, 2016 I just wanted to see who's stocks were used by Standard Products. I know most carbine makers used stocks from several makers. Here in the western NY/ Rochester area we had Trimble which was a baby furniture maker. I had a carbine with a flip sight installed backwards so I'd guess someone had removed an adjustable sight but I didn't see any stake marks. A gunsmith reversed it and I think secured it with some Loctite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Antone67....here are a few pics of repo sights....if sellers dont take good pics of the rear sight area..all sides front back and stake marks...thats a huge red flag. With pics of original sights and the repo ( around the pin area) it can help the new collector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambo35 Posted February 21, 2016 Share #40 Posted February 21, 2016 The size of the crossed cannons can also be used to verify which manufacture profed the carbine. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
