Ross M10 (Mk111) Rear Sight Replacement

[Arenegado]

Hey there everyone,

I have a Ross M10 that has had its barrel cut down to 24 inches, and the stock shortened. Otherwise it is all still in its original configuration, save for the rear sight which lost its aperture plate due to a broken bottom keeper.

Since the barrel is already cut, and the original sights are best suited for the original barrel length, I'm wondering what most here would reccomend for a return to function for my rifle? I keep seeing online that some have sporterized their Rosses with flip sights similar to the battle sight on some No4 Mk1 Enfield.

I have also seen some Lyman 48 sights installed on the M10, but I'm not exactly sure which version is best suited.

If there are any Ross experts floating about, I'd love to hear from you! I will attach some photos of the rifle and sight.

Honestly, the flip sight isn’t a bad idea. I haven’t tried it so it may or may not require a certain amount of machining. I’ve done Williams type sights before et cetera. Basically if it’s close you can make it work at this point the harm has already been done. Don’t toss that original sight though, it’s worth money for parts.

The pin is like 1/16 in diameter (going off memory), much smaller than a no.4 sight pin, Lyman sights are drill and tap. The only non drill and tap option, I'm aware of, is replacing it with a spare Ross 1910 rear sight. There are a lot floating about, for varying prices. If you look consistently over the next couple months, you will end up finding one.
