Lee Enfield tool for front sight

[ZeroZero3]

Hi, anybody know where I can find a adjusting tool for the front sight of my Lee Enfield?

Thanks

They're much easier to make than they are to find. Get a screwdriver (round shank), cut the end off with a dremel and cut a groove in the cut off end

"...my Lee Enfield..." What model? Gunparts wants $64US for a No. 1 front sight tool.
Have a read of this anyway. http://www.enfieldrifles.ca/ti15.htm

This device is known as a "fore site adjustment (or adjusting) cramp"
Do a search on google and see what pops up

It's a No.4 Mark 1.

I googled it and emailed a compagny a while ago but no reply so I was hoping that somebody had a good place to go for a ``adjustment cramp``

Screw driver is easy enough to make but I guess I will end up using a brass punch and a hammer to drift the front sight.

Actualy if you get a very SMALL C clamp, and remove the disc from the screw end, and file it flat, it will work. Of course you will have to flip it over if you want to change direction on the sight blade.

I picked up a C-Broad Arrow stamped foresite cramp for my No4 about 5 years ago and it has seen A LOT of use ever since. I'd estimate she has been used on 50 or more CNo4Mk1*'s since I purchased it. Its really an important piece of kit if you're into enfields.

Do you remember where you bought it?

I might try that too.

That's it right there, we are in the same province too, let's support the local economy.

Thanks a lot

GAIRLOCHIAN has always been good to deal with for me. Can't go wrong with that member IMO.

Conversely, I always fund the cut and ground screw driver was all I needed. Of course I've been a while between No 4's so my memory could be fuzzy.
