    Clamp on sight

    I’m helping a friend go through another of his friends estate and we came across an unusual sight system. This gentleman was a avid Colt AR shooter so I thought it might belong to such. Anyone ever seen something like this?

    Looks like some kind of grenade launcher sight for a rifle that goes over the barrel.
    The section with the vent holes goes towards the muzzle end.
    I have never seen such for an M16/M4/AR15 type rifle,
    must be some other kind of rifle.

    I'm thinking WW2/Korea/Vietnam/African-bush-wars eras.

    I'm almost sure it a night sight for a MAS 49/56.
    I have one and it looks kind of like it.

    Yes, as abunaitoo said, it's a grenade launcher sight for a french MAS.
