M1 standard sight swap to National Match
The front sight is self explanatory. The rear however I was wondering how far I need to go in swapping out parts? My rear apertureis off center as it is, but the rifle has the NM barrel, it might as well have the better sights.

I have done this...it required lapping the N.M rear sight aperture rails to fit in the N.M. rear sight base as well as grinding material off the bottom of the rear sight aperture so the sight would bottom out on the receiver.
I like the finer sights of the N.M. so i outfitted several of my rifles with them.

If I had half a brain, I'd put that on my Chink M-14.

I still need to upgrade, but the issued parts are pretty effective.

The rear sight aperture drum is FRAGILE...it will not withstand the knocking around the battle sight will. I always kept a rear sight protector over mine....AFTER...taking the line at the 600 yd slow fire segment of a NM course at Camp Perry...Firing two shots...and the drum fell off and left me with a 1/8" hole ...to sight through. I could see 4-5 targets at one time. You just can't bang those around.
