Well I am helping an old gunsmith buddy that doesn't do computers with is Parker and Hale sporter that bubba got, he got it as a parts gun and decided to put it back together, I got him a bolt but new we need to find the magazine and possibly the correct front sight, any help would be appreciated,

Hi Remiel, if you're in the States, you can look at Numrich Gun Parts, or could also call Brian at BDL Ltd; any magazine made for the No4 Lee Enfield will work. For the front sight, depends how much the barrel was shortened (it may not be possible to have the original front sight base installed and a after-market one may be needed).

Numerich was my first choice but my buddy wanted to try an get one for under $75 shipped, and i was looking for that Parker Hale sight it had when they sported it, I was told it was one of their deluxe sporters

promag makes lee Enfield mags but im sure there's plenty down there idk about import but I know that export of just about any parts of a firearm out of the US is a lot of BS

A No1 MkIII mag will fit as well. That rifle originally came with a cut down mag to make it easier to carry. It should have a five round mag.

Some of them never had front sights either although they were few and far between. If memory serves, they used a front sight ramp that was very similar to the Williams.

I should have looked closer at your pic. That was one of the rifles cut down and sold to different commercial outlets like Army/Navy for around $30 back in the day. It should have a 10 round mag and a very plain front sight ramp.
