I wonder if these are off of the Navy BR? Pretty high price for rusty bases.

From what I have been told is that the CMP is pulling off any lock bar sights and selling them at auction. Several years ago you could find the lock bar sights on rifles in the CMP stores.
One poster claimed to see a RG Drill rifle(?) at the South Store with a lock bar sight. Not sure about his observation. ????

They look pretty junky to me,and although I personally prefer the lock bar setup,I wouldn't want these at that price.

Wow...Pretty steeep. Parts getting that hard to find if CMP is $$$ everyone?
The price of M1 parts seems to have gone through the roof in the last few months.
On Ebay and Gunbroker, I see idiots getting into bidding wars over common items that end up selling for 10X what it should. Supply and demand at it's best.
Even stripped receivers that went for $200-250 on GB a few months ago are starting a $300+ and getting bid up to where barreled receivers used to be.
Some people are like slinkies.
They aren't good for much, but they do bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
I would rather put a humped sight on a rifle than pay the high prices on the CMP auction just for the look. The CMP has boxes of lock bar sights they pulled off rifles.
