Is this complete?

It's the rear sight off a Jungle Carbine as it is calibrated to 800yds instead of 1300 for the No. 4 and I think a bushing that goes between the sight and the receiver is missing. The sight itself is complete I think. If you are swpping out a two position flip sight the bushing should be on the rifle though. Take it for what its worth as I'm not an expert.

Thanks for the info. I few years back I took it off a No4 mk1 Savage so the bushing is likely on the rifle with the other sight.

That sight does not use the separate bushing. Look at the extension to the right on the base of the sight.

 

[Winchester-1897]

so it is complete?

 

[tiriaq]

Looks to be. You need the plunger and spring, of course.

Is the bushing required for the Mk I sight graduated to 1300yds, or only for the flip type peep?

 

[tiriaq]

The bushing is used with British made stamped sights. Milled sights don't need them. Canadian sights don't use them.

 

[woodchopper]

bushing is needed for the MK III stamped rear sights as above not needed on the C Mk 3 Canadian stamped reas sights as they are mounted on a solid milled base.

the sight above is a for the No5 enfield but will work on a No4

It'll work, but you won't be able to shoot past 800 yards, is that a handicap you can accept?

With my eyes 80 ft would be good I was just wondering if it was worth selling.

should be looking for a bit more then a No4 micrometer sight

you might be surprised what those are worth

How much would one pay for a No4 micro sight?

 

[millwright]

I bought one off ebay from a person in the UK for 40.00 delivered brand new with out the pivot pin.

 

[plinker 777]

millwright is that $40 cnd or 40 pounds sterling?

 

[millwright]

Cdn.I would have been bonkers to pay that unless it was a parker rear micrometer adjustable 5C sight
