Anyone have any experience with E. Arther Brown replica M1 Carbine sights for the 10/22 "Liberty Training Rifle" (from their web site)??

New shooter for the Mar 3/4 shoot called with questions.

Any help is appreciated.
"It is an uphill struggle, but I wish that we could distinguish more carefully between freedom and liberty. These conditions are not the same, though they are certainly related. Freedom is the absence of restraint - a physical circumstance. Liberty, on the other hand, is a political situation denoting the lawful capability of the citizen to defend himself and his near and dear without interference from the state. Note that the Declaration of Independence forcibly and particularly establishes the blessings of liberty upon ourselves and our posterity. I like to carry a pocket copy of the Declaration, plus the Constitution, in my travels. It is a good thing to have in hand when discussions arise."

Is there a reason why you would use these over Tec Sites?

The doorway to freedom is framed by the muskets that stood between a vision of of liberty and absolute anarchy at a place called Concord Bridge--Charlton Heston, 1997

"Be a man of principle. Fight for what you believe in. Keep your word. Live with integrity. Be brave. Believe in something bigger than yourself. Serve your country. Teach. Mentor. Give something back to society. Lead from the front. Conquer your fears. Be a good friend. Be humble and be self-confident. Appreciate your friends and family. Be a leader and not a follower. Be valorous on the field of battle. And take responsibility for your actions. Never forget those that were killed. And never let rest those that killed them." -- Major Douglas Zembiec

I think because the rifle is the Ruger 10/22-FS with the screw-on flash suppressor and no dovetail for the front site, and these seem to slide over the barrel.

Hi Floyd,
I have not tried these sights, but they look to me like the early M1 Carbine type that only had two range settings--no further elevation adjustments like the later one they issued.  I would think that the lack of elevation adjustment would be a problem, especially with all the differences in .22 rimfire ammo.
I'd do what I could to stick with Tech Sites as I think they're a better deal, just my $.02. 
Looking forward to seeing you next week.
Chuck

No direct experience with the subject sights, but I have  NoDak Spud sights on my 10/22 model 1261FS. The front sight is very similar.
http://www.nodakspud.com/NDS-22.htm
Since the 16" FS barrel doesn't have a front sight base, I had to fabricate a filler to go in the channel in the new sight for the set screws to bear on. I see now they make a new model specifically for the model 1261 FS without the channel- (NDS-44).
I'm very pleased with the NoDak products...that replica M1 rear sight doesn't seem to adjust for windage.

Okay...with NoDak Spud being mentioned....
Anybody used a NoDak Rear sight with A Tech Sight front sight?
