It took less than 30 days, I think it was about 3 weeks

That is so true, I havent even shot it yet and am already thinking about getting another one, hope this is not as bad as the 1911 craving i'm still trying to get rid of

Thanks for all the replies guys. It turns out that it was like Oldschool had suggested, the sight was dirty. I cleaned it off with a tissue and I can see through it just fine now. It is amazing how little grease was causing the problem, I can not even tell that I removed anything until I look through the sight.

Anyway thanks again, now if I can just stop looking through it and get to bed.

I am kinda embarrassed I can' t figure this out myself, but how in the world do you use the sights on the M1 Garand?

I recently got one from the CMP and can not see the front sight through the rear sight. The rear sight is a washer like thing with a very small hole. From looking around online, it looks like the back sight is suppose to blur and you can see the front sight that way. That did not work for me, I got it to blur up a little but the middle looked like a brownish white and I could not make out anything. I also tried too look through that little hole and find the front sight but that did not work either. Is there some way I have to line up the sights first? or put my head a certain way? or anything? or are my eyes just too bad?
