I'm in the process of completing a data sheet and have a question regarding my adjustable rear sight. The sight is marked I.R. Co. on the right side with no numbers. I can't tell for sure if the sight is stamped or milled. Any help will be appreciated.

Paul,
If your sight is marked I.R.CO then it is a stamped sight.
Here are some pictures.
Milled rear sight, thicker, squared corners, screw in graduated plate to adjust zero.



Stamped rear sight, somewhat bent or rounded corners, no screw in rear plate.

No problem, I remember how many questions I had when I completed my first data sheet, the first one is a learning experience, after that they are a piece of cake.
