Hi guys, trying to find a SMLE windage adjustable rear sight

[louthepou]

Hi guys,

Looking for a windage adjustable rear sight for a No1Mk3; I know they are around, but I haven't been lucky so far. Any tip will be appreciated and receive profuse thanks

(No, I am not looking to spend $100's).

Lee Enfield sight

Try ellwood epps, have picked up some interesting parts there. Be specific with details. Put attention doug might help.

Keep freequenting the Gun Shows. Dig into the parts boxes of anyone who looks like they might have military parts for sale at the Shows. Ask anyone who has parts.

I have picked them up for $10 to $20 fairly often at Gun Shows. The bonus to looking in parts boxes is that you frequently find other sights too, such as adjustable target sights for the Ross, Swedish Mauser, and other rifles.

I'm sure I have an extra w/a No 1 rear sight kicking around I'll dig it out and send it out to you . I've seen some of your restorations before , your dedication to rebuilding the old warhorses is admirable , its yours for free , just post a picture when your done . I'll contact you in a couple of days when I dig it out and get your address etc and mail it to you

Not to highjack, but is it possible to remove the pin and get back to an adjustable sight ?

I just removed a pin from a sight for fitting onto a sporter. The pin was just a drive fit and popped right out once i got a screwdriver blade under the head. The windage works fine and adjusts with a nice click. I was lucky in that some were pretty worn and wobbley before they were pinned.

I have one at home that's an EARLY Bisley Target sight.

Remind me to take pics next month when I'm home...
