Identify this rear sight...?

This is great information, I had wrongly thought (see my initial post) that BLUE SKY imports came from Italy....good to know the correct info, and of course that now makes much more sense with the presumably Korean-manufactured rear sight. Thanks!

There's another T.I. sight on a Blue Sky, QHMC return over on the CMP forum.

These came from South Korea.   Weren't the carbines that went to Italy observed with a black finish?       The question would be how it got from Italy to South Korea? Unlikely but not impossible.   I would not assume that because it has a FAT stock that the carbine was imported with that stock. I also would scrutinize the barrel to see is it has been swapped out by previous owner or during rebuild.     A great many Bavarian returns had parts stripped and put on other carbines. I would take an original appearing Bavarian over a corrected carbine with Bavarian refinished parts.

Outstanding post, and one that's very topical for myself atm. The above information is exactly what I'm trying to learn.   Differentiating b/t arsenal/armory/.mil work VS. civilian, Bubba, etc. work done on a carbine.
