weird i never seen one like that....

 

[Expendable Nate]

That's the factory rear site on the auto ordinance m1

 

[Captain Paul]

I have a Universal and a............ I forget, but #2 its NOT a universal thank god.

did you figure how to take the rear sight off?

Maybe cut some aluminum put it on the side and gently tap it out. just remember, left to right for removal, right to left for install!

 

[Expendable Nate]

Thanks I will try that

"...a Auto-Ordnance M1 carbine..." That have a longer than 18.5" barrel? If not, it's restricted just like any other Carbine.

 

[Expendable Nate]

This ones unrestricted

Alright so the mount showed up today. The way it works is you remove the rear site and replace it with s threaded collar and the mount attaches to by a screw. My latest issue is this thread collar that slides into the dove tail that held the rear site doesn't appear to fit. I gently tried tapping it in with a hammer and it won't slide in. It scrapes metal off the collar. Should I keep trying? Or should I file it down so it fits easier? Help please lol

i know i said this a few times already lol but you are tapping it in from right to left... right?

except for that, i have no idea man... both my m1's have a different rear sight so im not sure what to do here...

 

[Expendable Nate]

Go left to right to remove and right to left to instal that's what I'm doing. Think I might file s little off and see what difference that makes

 

[Captain Paul]

Wish I could be a lil more help but honestly im no expert! keep posting though im interested how this plays out!!!!!

 

[Expendable Nate]

I'm grabbing a couple files today hopefully pics will be posted tonight

 

[Captain Paul]

can't wait!... I might actually pick one up for one of my M1's. Really looking forward to seeing this.

 

[Expendable Nate]

Assembled pics to follow!!!! Sadly all I have is high scope rings need to get mediums or maybe lows

 

[Captain Paul]

so what\1 you have it DONE son!!!! whatcha do, file it down?

 

[Expendable Nate]

Yup about 20 min with a file sadly I dinged the stock a little so I'm gonna have some sanding and filling to do but oh well it's not like its an original

 

[Expendable Nate]

Alright so my report so far it's quite comfortable shouldering it, definitely going to want low mounts I'm going to range it tomorrow hopefully. Only disadvantage so far the mount makes it harder to hit the bolt catch

 

[Captain Paul]

im curious how its gonna eject, let me know where its ejecting and if its hitting the mount!!!

 

[Expendable Nate]

Will do . I was thinking about that but I'm pretty sure the ejecter was throwing them pretty low

"...This ones unrestricted..." Cool. A-O doing longer barrels now? Suspect you'll get a lot of useless attention from the Revenoors though.
Anyway, think IMR4227 and 110 grain HP's. When my Plainfield wasn't evil, before 1978, it really liked the HP's with that powder. Made a hole the size of a grapefruit in a ground hog.
