Enfield front sights and target rear sights

[yellowhousejake]

Good evening everyone,

My work on my Enfield continues. After much test firing with reloads I have discovered that my eyes are not what they used to be. I cringe at the thought of mounting a scope and my shooting with peep sights is still quite good. So as luck would have it, I won a Lane rear sight on Ebay. I liked the Lane sight better than the PH sights I had been watching.

My question, how do others use the target rear sights without removing the rear battle sight? It seems to me the rear sight leaf would interfere with the sight picture. Is the target sight only used at longer distances or do shooters normally remove the rear battle sight?

After seeing some of the comments I realize I should be clear in that my rifle is a No 1 MK III. So when I add a target sight, I am adding a third sight to the rifle. A No 4 MK I would be a different situation.

Thanks,

DAve
