Hello all,
First post here, I have been lurking long before I had a kit (about a year), just trying to learn more.
I have a USGI 30-06 kit and the rear sight bracket has the three holes for the rivets to attach it to the side plate, but it also has an additional three holes in the same pattern as the rivet holes.
The bracket is not currently attached to the left side plate, but all "6" of the holes on the bracket do match up to six holes on the side plate and if I remember correctly, the holes on the side plate are threaded.
Could someone advise what the extra set of holes are for?
Many thanks.
Update....................
Below are the pictures of my left side plate. As you can see they have drilled and threaded holes for the sight that mounts to the bracket. The holes are well done and not "Bubbaized".
This is what it looks like from the inside.
This is my new question, since I never will be able to locate the proper sight that mounts to the side and I don't want open holes, could I mount a bracket like the one labeled "A" below and be good to go? This will cover the holes in the plate so they can't be seen from the outside. The bracket labeled "B" is the one that came with the kit.
I paid a decent price for this 90% graded USGI 30-06 kit, should I consider these holes part of the 10% not up to snuff and let it go OR should I contact the dealer and see what he says?
