dale,

 

That is a rear sight for an ANM2, either .30 or .50 caliber aircraft machine gun. Did you list all the markings on it? What is the measurement of the base where the clamp attaches to the MG?

it is about 1 7/16 at the narrowest part(very bottom)1 11/16 at the wider part and the outer circle of the sight is about 1 11/16 also

and all markings are listed

the rectangular block that the knob is attached to is about 2 1/8 inches wide

dale,

 

It's an L-2 sight for the .30 caliber ANM2. I had to consult my reference material, because there are several different versions of the .30 and .50 caliber ANM2 sights.

 

I own a live, transferable .30 caliber ANM2. I don't have this sight. If you'd like to sell it, name me a price, and I'll let you know if I'm interested.

 

Here are links to pictures of my ANM2 .30. (Colt MG-40)
