OK, so there was a thing that could be attached to the rear sight on an M1 (maybe M14?) that would allow a coach to see what the shooter was seeing.
What was that called? I've seen reference to it on these forums, but cannot find it. IIRC, someone was trying to whizbang one out on a 3d printer.
I had it as a saved search on ebay but either I removed it or it went "POOF" into the ether, because it ain't there no more.
Thanks,
Greg
It was called an M1 Garand Aiming Device. Sometimes referred to as an Aiming Sight Device.
Found a YouTube video searching for it too.

Numrich gun parts has some French ones fore sale in the closeout section for $15 each.
Thanks!
Now that I know what they are actually called again, searches turn up all kinds of stuff. Funny how that works.
Give this a try it looks like they have more than one for sale.

I need one of these that fits onto a scope!
With a 3d printer, you might be able to make one. I don't have that skill. I am sure some does. It would be translating the old concept to scope for a mount.
