No, but if it were mine I would move the rear sight back to it's original location by realigning the stake marks.

Can you post a photo of the bottom of the barrel, from the gas cylinder to the breech? I am rereading the old CMP post and would like to take another look at that area.

A clearer picture of the top of the barrel, near the breech, where the "S" and "6" are would also be helpful.

There were stakes on both sides, I'm blind.

Okay, now it all makes sense staking wise. Thanks for posting the latest pictures-they helped clear things up. I was beginning to think a little more that the rear sight was a replacement. Nice carbine!

I've heard two terms on a few occasions now concerning my carbine, yet I have no idea what they mean.  
1. What is a transitional Inland?
2. What is an American Swiss Barrel band, or rather its significance?

What should I ask for the carbine when selling?  I noticed prices are all over the place, dependent on quite a few factors I assume.  Hopefully it is worth more than I paid Cabelas. :D

Transitional would be where the upgrade of front bands and rear sights took place. Often overlooked as "Upgraded"
 
American Swiss was a manufacture of some of the front bands. look at your front band. Is it marked PI or AS?
