    Flip Sight ?

    I came across this flipper getting everything ready for the show. I know the BR is a marking for Rock-Ola, but what good is it with only that marking it doesn't have anything else that I can see. The Trash can.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    It looks real to me when I placed it with my other real ones, but the pictures I looked at it should have 2 more markings. Thank You Jim

    Well, these guys will tell us soon. It'll still sell anyway, someone would take a copy that can't afford to pay correctly.

    Looks like a S on the left base.
    So question should be if real:

    Did Rock Ola have a Flip sight with no marking on the right base ?
    Or
    Did another maker use a Flip Sight with a BR leaf ?
    Or maybe a Leaf transfer from Rock Ola....

    Never say never

    Wayne I could not see the S without zooming in and keeping the picture of this sight in focus...without zooming you can only see a little divet of missing metal. That is why I never seen the S. Here you go Wayne
