DCRA lee enfeild sight

[fleury]

Hi I have a DCRA lee Enfield that has a normal sight I know that there his supposed to have a Parker & Hale (If my memory his correct) on it. I can see on the bluing of the rifle where it used to be.

I am looking for information on this sight since I want to find one and put it back where it belongs.

So any idea of the price and where I can find one?

Collector's Source(pricey place) has one PH Model 25B. $250Cdn.

I think a PH25 isn't for a No. 4.
A PH5C, or similar AJP would be the easiest to find. Expect to pay at least $150.
You could also use a Central sight with an adapter plate.

DCRA sight

One of my DCRA's has a PH5C and the other a PH4 which is similar to the C No.7 sight. There's currently a PH4 on eBAY for $69US "Buy it now".

This appears to be black which isn't right, but this is the right sight. He's wrong about the ejector screw too.

I believe with that sight you have to drill one side out oversize and install a ball detent or similar? I've always been reluctant to do so.

Sarco sells those for $69 Buy it Now but I don't like modifying the rifle if I can avoid it.

I think those sights are for some sort of cadet rifle, not a Lee Enfield.
A PH4 is a rather substantial folding target sight, which I believe appeared earlier than the 5C.
