Sight blade height

[riverman1]

Hey Guys,

Can anyone tell me what the standard height is for the rear sight blade on a mod 15 with 4" barrel? I am trying to order a replacement and they are offering a .136, .146 and a .160.

Thanks,

Chris

You need a .106 according to my armorers manual.

In Brownell's #59 for M-15 it indicates 4 instances. Three being black, W/O and "Old Style" black at a dimension of .126". The fourth instance, lists as a .146" (New Style black 4"-6" barrel?)
FWIW the Model 67 (A M-15 in S/S) lists 1 "Old Style" @ .106", 1 "New Style" @ .106" and a "New Style" in black @ .136".

(EDIT) FWIW the shorter the rear blade is, the easier to adjust for very light/fast bullets.
The taller the rear, the easier to adjust for heavier/slower bullet weights.
