I considered that, Ed, but railed top front hand guards/adapters are a little pricey. Also, mine is an Iver Johnson, and such things made for original GI spec say they won't fit.

I think I'm set, having found one of these for $13. My other M! family member is a new to me Erma EM1-22, which--like other Erma long guns--has a dovetail cast into the top of the receiver. This was handy, and set the motif (rear mounted) I want for the .30 carbine.

Now to borrow a sight removal tool somewhere...
