Is Fulton Armory a good place to buy a new M1 Garand rear sight elevation knob with pinion? I need to buy one, but one quality, ie, closest I can get to USGI where that spring is not worn out and the threads are good. I never bought anything from FA before.

CMP e-store does not sell them, only the windage drums.

thanks

These sights are superb and they are the ones I usually use

One's such as Orlando has are excellent. I have also purchased Italian one's from Standard Parts, excellent as well. Both of these options are far better than a used USGI knob.

Sent you a PM, windage knob not needed. Elevation knob with pinion needed with the steel tooth still proud and sharp to grip the indents on the side of the receiver. No threading thats worn. No spring inside the knob thats worn.

Thanks,

NOS Italian are the best you can buy.
