    Robert,
    Thank you, you're a gentleman.
    I wish I were more so, I hate responding like I have, I take no enjoyment in it.
    For now I have a bad taste in my mouth.
    I'm sure I won't be missed.

    Peter,
    So are you saying there's no difference in the Mk1 and No5s sight except the No5 only goes up to 800 yds? But from 0-800 they are exactly the same? That is the marks are in exactly the same...

    Yes, mechanically they are the same sight but I don't think the marks up to 800 yds on a No5 sight are in the same place a the Mk1 sight because of the lower velocity caused by the shorter barrel.......

    The Parker Hale 8/53, plate 55, those ever show up here in the US?

    I like the looks of it but when folded down is the point blank aperture blocked by the threaded PH aperture?

    One thing to be aware of... a sporterized No4 usually had the barrel cut to ~22" from my experience. Maybe not so with this one just be aware that a No4 should have a 25" barrel.

    And I don't know...

    That's very tempting... But I have to a tight budget at the moment. A No5 clone is doable tho.

    BTW, how is the PH front sight attached... actually, how is it best removed?

    ssj,
    But would they go to the trouble of matching the S/N? The barrel, action and bolt all have the same S/N stamped on them. They look as built.
