When the M1 Garand rifle was first adopted in 1936, its rear sight was one of the many notable features of the rifle that was a significant departure from what the U.S.
The history of the rear sights on the M1 Garand rifle is an interesting one to collectors and historians alike. From the M1’s adoption to the M14 and today’s M1A, the rear sight design went through several minor changes and modifications. One of the design features to continue from the first M1s to later rifles was the rear sight assembly. infantryman from World War II to the Korean Conflict and beyond. Garand, was an impressive feat of small arms engineering at the time of its adoption.
You'll also find that the elevation adjustments (yardage marks) of the M1 sight aint right for a Mini-14 and it's flatter shooting ammo, so you'll have to do some experimenting relative to what each click of elevation actualy means in yards for your particlar gun/ammo.The U.S. The Mini-14 front sight is too tall for the lowest (100 Yd) setting of the M1 sight, so it'll need filled down accordingly."accordingly" meaning to work right with whatever ammo you commonly use.
Makes for a perty-solid mounting.much better than the "screw 'n clamp gizmo" that Ruger uses. After everything has cooled enough to touch, I re-check the mounting screw to make sure it's snug. If done correctly, the old Ruger sight screw can be installed through the cut.which when snugged-down, positions the center line of the M1 sight body to the centerline of the reciever while also holding the sight in remove the sight, remove the finish from the bottom of it's dovetail by rubbing it over a flat piece of 240 grit sandpaper, remove the finish from where it is to sit on the reciever, "tin" the bottom of the M1 sight with soft solder, re-install it with the screw, and carefully heat the area untill the solder flows enough to form a bond. What I do instead, is carefully use a very small rat-tail file to create a semi-circle in the center of the of the front edge of the M1 sight dovetail.just deep enough so that when the sight is positioned into the far-rear of the reciever dovetail, the factory screw hole can be viewd through the semi-circular cut I made. Some folks resize the M1 dovetail so they can re-use Ruger's clamping gizmo.
In other words, you're going to have to modify the M1 sight, not the gun. You'll find that ya can't fit the gun to the sight because there is only enough metal on the mounting "rail" of the reciever to accomidate Ruger's "half dovetail" mounting arrangement.and that if you postion the M1 sight against it, the front of the sight's dovetail covers the screw hole which originaly attached the folding-sight's clamping gizmo.
