Kensight Mfg Springfield M1 Carbine Adjustable Rear Sight Black
The Kensight Mfg Springfield M1 Carbine adjustable rear sight in black brings authentic restoration-grade sighting to your vintage .30 carbine. If you're rebuilding or refurbishing an M1 carbine and want iron sights that look right and function precisely, this modern reproduction matches the original factory sight profile while delivering the tighter tolerances and consistency of contemporary manufacturing. It's engineered for shooters and collectors who care about authenticity without sacrificing reliability.
Built from 4140 bar stock and wire EDM cut to tight tolerances, this rear sight is a serious upgrade over worn original hardware. The adjustable design includes audible clicks for windage changes, so you're not guessing when you dial in corrections at the range. Elevation adjustments feature preset range increments—the sight was engineered with the ballistics of the .30 carbine in mind, making it faster to set up for realistic shooting distances.
Whether you're a purist restoring a service rifle, a competitor running vintage military matches, or a collector who shoots rather than just displays, this sight bridges the gap between period correctness and practical accuracy. The black finish suits the platform and wears naturally as you use the rifle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this sight compatible with all M1 carbine models?
This rear sight is designed for the Springfield M1 carbine platform. Verify your rifle's sight mounting before purchasing to ensure compatibility with your specific variant.
What comes in the box?
The listing specifies the Kensight Mfg rear sight itself; confirm with the product page whether mounting hardware or installation tools are included.
How do windage and elevation adjustments work?
Windage adjustments click audibly, giving you tactile feedback as you dial in corrections. Elevation uses preset range increments calibrated for the .30 carbine cartridge, so you adjust in steps rather than continuous turns.
Will this sight improve accuracy on my carbine?
This adjustable sight gives you the ability to zero and correct for distance and wind—a real advantage over fixed iron sights. Your actual accuracy depends on barrel condition, ammunition, and shooter skill, but a quality adjustable sight removes the sight as a limiting factor.
