Just wondering????????

[G.T.]

I would have to believe that they were run special, and never ever intended to have a rear sight machined on them. They may have used the same forging, but the sight area would be milled off as if it were being cleaned up like any other part.. They may have even used a seperate forging as they would have looked upon this tiny extra bit of machining as a waste when taken times several thousand... These guys didn't waste anything, including time! They were fast and good, and never stopped getting better!... they probably spent more time looking for effective shortcuts then they did making the parts in the first place... "The hard stuff they did right away, the impossible took a little longer!" I believe this would describe the machining situation at that time, as I understand it... Best to all, til...lat'r....GT
