Ever since I bought my 10/22 in 1985, I've wanted to make it look and feel more like a real USGI M1 Carbine. I won't take your time telling you how much effort and money I've put into this idea, with less-than-satisfactory results.
Couple years ago I ran across someplace (might have been SARCO) selling M1 Carbine lookalike stocks (with handguard and front band) for the 10/22. I bought one and put it on--close enough to perfect for me!
Now the last piece of the puzzle was the sights. The Tech Sights, while entirely functional, just didn't make it looks-wise for me, not at all. I finally figgered I would put on a common Weaver scope base and file a dovetail for a real GI M1 Carbine rear sight as close to the proper location as I could. I never got around to the hours of tedious work this would require, and then the front sight problem was still unsolved.
Last week I was looking for something else online, and just happened to stumble across these sights. They're not all that "new"--it looks like they've been around since 2019--but they were new to me; I'd never seen or heard of them before. I thought the price was entirely reasonable considering the time and effort they'd save me, with final results by no means guaranteed. I ordered a set last week and they arrived in just a couple days.
I just put them on. Only took about 15-20 minutes, and I couldn't be more pleased! They really look the part and seem to be very functional. Can't wait to get to the range and actually shoot with them. Check 'em out!
