Mini14 front sight?

[gewehrfreund]

I'm hoping the Mini 14 owners/experts can tell me if the bottom sight in this picture is either an OEM or aftermarket Mini 14 front sight (or if not, what it might be).
I'm Mini14 ignorant, and got this in a group of sights. Thanks.

Looks like a pre-582 Series OEM sight to me.
That said though, I couldn't tell you off-hand if the Mini-14 and the Mini-30 uses the same front sight or not....so it could be for one, or the other, or both....dunno.

Don't know about the bottom one but the top is a front sight guard for a 1903-A3.

 

[gewehrfreund]

Yep, I knew that, but thanks anyway.

and thanks DGW1949; that gets me alot closer than I was.

yes, that bottom sight is from an early version of the Mini-14 (maybe the 180 ) but I know or sure the later 181 and up versions, came in stainless also, I had one just like yours sitting here somewhere in the "parts" bin...........

Looks identical to my 181 series mini 14.

Same as my 196 series that I took off.

So it sounds like it's fairly universal?
I have no use for it, so it will be on the auction block in the near future. If anyone really wants or needs one now, let me know via PM. Thanks

P.S. I like Ruger No. 1 parts ;-)
