Lee Enfield No.4 Mk1* Rifle Backsight - Technical question

[Snowy Owl]

First, I hope that I have landed in the right forum.

Is there someone out there who happens to know the aperture diameters (hole diameters) of the Lee Enfield No.4 Mk1* rifle backsight - the Mark 2 L-flip two position aperture sight set for 300 and 600 hundred yards ?

Try as I might, I have not been able to find that kind of information anywhere and, for now, I don't have access to a Lee Enfield No.4 Mk1* rifle.

TIA

You got it right. Aim for their balls and you will hit them in the middle

Mr Sukey,

Well, with all due respect to you, the thing is that I just don't quite get it.

Maybe I missed the point somewhere along the line ...

Do a Google CSE in the MKL (see top right corner of site for input field) as there are most likely other technical references that have your answer, however, I think this is what you're looking for.

0.01" at 300 yards
0.01" at 600 yards

BadgerDog,

Yes ! This is what I was looking for but I am quite computer illiterate.

What I know for sure is that the slide aperture on my Mk1 backsight is 0.100" in diameter and that the battle aperture on the same backsight is 0.200" in diameter. So, by way of comparison, I now have the information that I was looking for.

Thank you very much !

Hmm, I was just saying (in a roundabout way) that your statement about the range settings was correct.
