Garand Rear Sight parts

[Andronicus]

I recently bought a Garand rear sight elevation pinion and Windage knob from Numrich. Like a noob, I bought the ones that were on sale. Turns our they are the stripped parts. I am looking for details on what parts are missing. I think the following is the list, but am unsure

Windage Knob Flush Nut (or lock bar)
Elevation Knob Cap
Elevation Cap Screw

Am I missing anything? Anything to be aware of?

I was trying to save some money by buying the parts to build a sight, but looks like it may end up costing more in the end. Probably should have bought a completed sight. Guess we learn as we go.

Found help elsewhere. Here is a detailed picture

You are correct
You can buy a complete late issue knob and it will work

So the finalized parts list to complete the stripped Pinion and knob is:

• Elevation Knob (Cap)
• Elevation Screw
• Windage Spring
• Windage Knob Nut Lock (bushing thingy)
• Windage Knob Lock Bar (Nut)

$42.75UDS plus shipping from Numrich (around $85CAD total)
In the end it is a bit lower cost to buy the complete sight. Although I have learned a lot more this way.

Here is a really good video showing all the parts of the rear sight pinion system.
