This Kensight Front Sight M1 Garand Steel Black is a high quality, drop-in replacement for the factory original unit. The front sight incorporates a bright, light gathering Fiber Optic Rod that naturally draws the shooter's eye to the front post for quicker initial sight acquisition and faster sight recovery from shot-to-shot. This front sight features the traditional protective steel ears on either side of the front post, and is easily installed by sliding it onto the gas tube's dovetail and tightening the included screw. Wire-EDM machined from 4140 Chrome Moly Steel and heat treated to a hardness of RC 38-40 for long-lasting durability.
