I have a couple of Lee Enfield builds and I'm looking for the retainer pins that are used to secure the cross pins on a couple of Lee Enfield No. 4 MK I sights.
Any ideas would be appreciated?
Also looking for advice on where I could find a longer ejector screw for a PH5B sight that was modified to fit on the No. 4 rifle?
Thanks in advance for any input.
Regards,
Dave
 
I took a small 1/2" brad nail, chucked it into my drill, started 'er up and took a fine file to the spinning nail. When I had it properly tapered and down to the correct diameter, I used 1000 grit paper to give it a final polish, blued it and put it into the hole in the through pin. Just a little hint; after you do this, if it's a little loose, used a screwdriver to turn the through pin lightly until it's snugged up against the pin itself. If you do that, you bind the pin against the steel and she won't come loose. Hope this helps.
